It's not really a spoiler but I'll put it behind a cut. Am I the only person who seriously wants to smack a sizable percentage of the top twenty dancers this season?
The look on Nigel's face when she started doing it on stage was pretty priceless--I was timing him to see how long it would take before the mockery burst forth ;-)
As someone who does the same thing when very emotional, I sympathize with the girl. I remember once I was strongarmed by my Mom into making a speech at my father's retirement party--I knew I was emotional and would cry and this would happen and I didn't want to do it. But she pushed me and I did. And that started happening and my Mom blurted out, "For heaven's sake, Sharon, he's not dying."
That stung me so much. I was unable to control this genuine emotion of love for my Dad and she embarrassed me in front of everyone.
Now he is dead, and now I even feel a little pissed at her comment.
Some people can't help it. It isn't lack of maturity, it's just how we're wired.
I do the same thing. I lose control of my voice when I am emotional -- which is why I dance in public, but I don't sing in public. I don't however, keep trying to push through it, over and over and over. I either take a moment to compose myself, or I keep what I need to say short and sweet. To hear it happen in the waiting room, and in the pre-interview (several times), and on stage...well, I really hope she's the victim of ruthless editing.

So...some perspective.
