Williams stars in the upcoming Fix My Choir series on Oxygen, in which she and Deitrick Haddon serve as mentors for struggling choirs. Michelle tells The Christian Post, she was surprised by the attitudes she encountered in the church groups. “Some people in choirs seem to have a bigger egos than in the professional world,” she says. “Often the agenda or intention for being in the choir is wrong.” She adds, “When we were growing up, we just loved the music. Now, people say: If I sing lead, it’s my chance to be discovered. They’re not there to be a team player, they’re there to be noticed.”
The singer also says that a common problem with choirs is leadership. “Some choirs didn’t respect their leaders, or a leader didn’t know how to handle a few misfits in the choir.”
Fix My Choir debuts November 5.
