Video: Paula Abdul vomited on by dance contestant

Auditioning for reality TV talent shows isn't always easy, but it can sometimes be queasy. Paula Abdul learned this the hard way when she was vomited on while judging So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation.

Twelve-year-old Chi Tahani danced to Beyonce's 'Countdown' for judges Abdul, Jason Derulo and Nigel Lythgoe. But after getting the green light to go to the next round, things turned a bit messy.

"I'm so proud of you," Abdul said to the young girl as she gave her a hug. "Are you okay?" That's when Chi's lunch decided to make an appearance.

As everything went 'Straight Up', Abdul took it well.

"It's okay, honey. It's okay.

"I've never had anyone just vomit on me like that."

Chi says Abdul hugged her too tight and "all the happiness came out on her jacket".
