American Idol has admittedly been a bit boring lately without Danny Noriega, the finger-snapping, head-shaking teenager from the Top 24. Fortunately, Danny is not deserting YouTube, the stage where he wished us all a happy Christmas — oh, and by the way, he hopes Santa rapes your mother. Here is his latest video, where he announces his return to YouTube (we weren't aware he ever left) right before his Tourette's takes over.
