Victor Bell started his choir about 20 years ago in central Los Angeles. It used to be one of the hottest choirs in the region.

On first listen, Deitrick & Michelle love what they hear. "Ya'll don’t have a vocal problem here," says Deitrick. "It's obvious."

But when the power went out during a major live recording for an audience, the choir couldn't refund ticket holders. “That night destroyed us,” says Victor.

Now the choir is made up of original members and newbies. The Originals are mad at Victor for abandoning them after the blackout. The Newbies just want to sing.

"We don't want to relive the past through the older members," says Rhiann. "We just want to start fresh and hit the ground running."

Welcome to Deitrick Haddon's Choir Bootcamp, where the choir learns to work together through physical drills.

Deitrick & Michelle ask the choir to perform "Walk in the Light" at the scene of the crime — a.k.a., the venue where their 2009 concert crashed and burned. But first Deitrick takes The Originals to the venue so they can hash out their issues.

Addressing what went down after the blackout, Deitrick says: “Victor it seems like you forgot at that moment you had a family and it became more about Victor and not about Halel. Can you see that?” CRICKETS...

But then Victor comes around and apologizes sincerely while shedding a few tears and The Originals hug it out.

Issues behind them, Victor Bell & Halel basically kill their performance. They even add a little Biz Markie to the gospel mix. Note Victor is beatboxing.
