That arrangement of ‘Joyful Joyful’ will remain timeless 💯
Oh happy day is my cheer up song ❤
PERIOD!!! It’s so good!!!
They way he incorporated Janet Jackson song into it
Fr
For sure Mervyn Warren was on point with that arrangement.
Sister Act 2 is the REAL High School Musical! 🙂 Love it!
TRUTH!
I’ve never seen either Sister Act movies. was “2”, much better than “1”? Did they have a big celebration on the 30th anniversary of the original Sister Act movie?
From watching the segments from today’s show, it appears to me that Sister act 2 must’ve been something much more spectacular than the original(?) (is that true?)
@@MikeCee7 In my opinion, Sister Act 2 is just as good as the original 🙂 Check out both movies!
@@JamalBernardPulliam Thanks for your reply. Did they do all this hoopla on the anniversary of the original? Other than Whoopi, was the cast completely different between the two movies?
Glee, too.❤
Sharyl Lee Ralph is 67 years old, y’all. I mean. She looks stunning. And not a day over 40.
Interesting! Sophia Vergara is in 50s do you think they look the same age? I think she looks great, but looks 60
@@javiruiz8365seriously
She look a couple days over 40..but she does look amazing
Yesssss, she is gorgeous
@@javiruiz8365it's her opinion. You don't have to agree. Black holds age well, which you can't stand. You just told on yourself.
SHERYL DOES NOT AGE
Exactly she lives in a time capsule. She’s the same.
Exactly! She’s looked 65 for decades
Black don’t crack! I’m 64 and no one ever believes me when I tell them, one person even asked to see my drivers license to prove it 😂
Right!
Extremely beautiful
To me, Sister Act 2 feels like a stand alone film rather than a sequel, and that’s why people fall in love with this movie every time when the watch it
Agreed and very true!
If it was a stand-alone film, it would have been merely a copy of so many films that have existed before it. Goldberg had so little to really do in this one and her character became such a non-entity in it that you could have cast virtually anybody in the role.
i'm partial to sister act 1 because i love the dolores van cartier character at the casino running from the married mafia man.. sister act 2 is great too but if you haven't seen sister act 1 first i think you are certainly missing the full picture
I’m so in love with both of them for the same reason!
@@RocStarr913Except you couldn't cast "just anyone" and have it be the movie that it is. Whoopi MADE that role what it is.
Do you know it was originally meant for Bette Middler? Imagine just how *different* that would have been.
This film is timeless. Lauryn and Tanya singing his "Eye is on the Sparrow" was just magical!
I wanted a full version of that, it was beautiful
YEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@craigsoota1 there is a full version. There's a soundtrack for the film
My authorities try everything for me back up on there local work tasks; but I forgot everything, magic.
@@natsohigh5552that version is not the same at all.
Most memorable moment in "Sister Act 2" was the boy hitting that one note singing 'Oh Happy Day'. If you know - you know. 🔥💯
O! We KNOW!!!
Yasss I get emotional every time 👏🏽😭
And everybody at home attempting to hit the note and sounding like a goat. Lol
@@vascanjyes! Lol! I love that movie, but I’m just upset that Tyler is producing sister act 3! I pray that he has other people writing the script and producing and directing.
Yes indeed and indeed YES!😍
Lauryn Hill was there, but sadly the show had already ended
Lol!!!
😂😂😂
Oh lord!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am done!!!!!!!!
😄😄
Sad thing is idk if this is true or not looool 😂
Both Sister Act 1 and Sister Act2 were fantastic movies.
The first one was so funny because the ladies couldn't sing and boy did they blossom so much so that people off the street wanted to go inside to hear them saying and then they jazzed it up which was awesome
A lot shared this point. I think targets were different.
Sheryl looks like she's never aged. Beautiful!
Mrs. Sheryl Ralph, my Jamaican 🇯🇲 sister
I’m proud of my culture
Just hearing the Jamaican dialect being spoken, is just breathtaking.
Big up! Jamaica 🇯🇲.
Island queen
It is a fact that Mervyn E Warren’s arrangement of Joyful Joyful was a standard setter. But so were his arrangements when he was a Take 6 member and the many others projects he worked on.
That’s why his name was so familiar. Those Take6 albums were 🔥🔥👍🏾
I remember Take 6 oh wow didn't know
Take 6 was everything ❤
Wow! I didn't know that. Thank you 🙏🏾
He also was over the soundtrack for Preachers Wife
Sheryl Lee Ralph was hilarious when imitating her mom😂😂😂😂 All ladies are so talented and look gorgeous as always!❤❤❤❤❤❤
At the height of Lauryn Hill having apples greatest album of all time, this is such a full circle moment. Congrats to all involved.
Good to see Sheryl Lee Ralph mentioning her Jamaican heritage
Sister Act II is the only sequel I can think of, better than the original.
It came out before I was born but I, and even my younger cousins, were raised to love this music.
It is a classic!
Terminator 2, Shrek 2
There have been dozens of movies over the decades that have had the exact same plots as the original does. Goldberg doesn’t even have anything to really do in this one and her character becomes such a non-entity that anybody could have played the role.
Bad Boys II 👀, but yes!
@@divalicious360 Bad Boys II was so bad.
Spiderman 2
Now that I've learned that "Joyful, Joyful" was arranged by Mervyn Warren, I understand why it's a classic. Don't sleep on one of the original members of Take 6!! This brother is a musical phenom 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾!!!
If you listen to the Handel’s Messiah “A soulful celebration” you will also get a good dose of Mervyn’s work.
This clip should universally used as an example of how to give someone their flowers 🌺. Beautifully done. Sister Act II was and is so special to us all.
Sister Act 2 was mediocre and formulaic. There were so many movies like it.
My favourite movie as a kid! Sheryl has aged backwards! Wow!
Kathy too 🥰
Yes! She’s looked old for a very long time. I have to google her when she actually looked 20 or 30.
I love the Sister Act franchise. I would be here for a part 3.
It is in the works, probably coming out on Disney+ next year.
Me tooooooooooo!:)✨
Tyler Perry is producing it! Im so upset! He’s had flop after flop and never has done anything of quality worth watching in the theaters
@@javiruiz8365not true!
@@javiruiz8365this! I’m so concerned that he won’t do this justice😒
Tanya Blount always had a beautiful voice. Her song THROUGH THE RAIN
The "Joyful Joyful" performance is iconic. By far one of the greatest movie finales
Happy 30 years of sister act. 2
What an incredible gift to us back in 1993 and now today in 2024! I’m still in tears! Thank you ABC, Disney, The View, and Whoopi!
Tanya Blunt killed them beautiful vocals she never ever disappoints. Meanwhile it’s good to see the cast all grown up and sounding amazing. Got so exited to see Ryan Toby. Love this, tearing right now. 90s classic 💎 best movie ever!
This movie had such a lasting impact on me.
The line that will always stay with me:
If every morning when you wake up, the first thing on your mind is singing, you were meant to be a singer."
Follow your passions and your dreams!
Sounds like a cliche to me.
@@RocStarr913 You really need to get a life.
Stuck with me and now living my passion I still think about it
Idk why, but this anniversary is making me so nostalgic I could cry!! The hold this movie had on me, especially as a child and teen who did and loved performing arts, was so strong! I’ve been listening to this soundtrack for the past 30 years. It just doesn’t get old. I hope today’s youth can appreciate this film as much as I did❤
Well, kids aren’t certainly as discriminating about movies that’s made particularly for them.
This series and Mrs doubtfire NEVER get old
Went to catholic school here, learned how to cuss like a sailor and we watched Sister Act 2 at least once a week. I can quote that movie.
I have watched this move at least 50 times… and watched it each time like it was my first.
I really dont remember Sister Act. I dont remember the plot or anything. Now, Sister Act 2, I can recite every single word. I LOVE this for US!!!
I remember both yasss totally love Sister Act 2 for us all 😊
You should watch the original again. Just as good imo!
Part 1 and 2 were both great to me! I can’t favor one over the other #classics
@@essie2459 Yeah, I feel that SA1 was funnier, and SA2 had more music. Both were good in their own rite.
I could NEVER get bored watching Sister Act 2 ☺️👍🏼
I was. It’s such a forgettable movie. There are so many other movies that have had the same plots as Sister Act 2.
That “Joyful,Joyful” arrangement always makes me shed a happy tear!!
No joke, this is like top 2 fave movies! I love it so much!!!!
You haven’t seen a lot of movies then.
As a Catholic school kid, I loved this movie. A great sequel to the original. This movie inspired me to join my hs show choir years later.
That movie has become a Cult Classic
Wow your right 👌🏽😍and what’s cooler is Kathy has been in two major cult classics this and hocus pocus❤🎉🔥
@@SheriAunae25 Yes she has. Amazing!
THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY
Happy is You ❤🎉😂😊
Me toooooooooo!:):):)
😚
I was watching this recently with my daughter and when the choir competition banner scene comes up and says 1993, I was like WHOA it's been that long. I watched this movie over and over in the 90s.
That arrangement of joyful joyful is beautiful 😍.
Last statement is very true. Our church youth, ages 7-17, performed Joyful Joyful just a few years ago. None of them even born when it originally hit the scene. 😂 It was definitely a hit! 30 years!!! Wow❤❤❤
If they could somehow get Maggie Smith and Lauryn Hill back for Sister Act 3 then it would be huge!!! Also, I bought the soundtrack back in the day.
They look absolutely gorgeous! 😭
My youth just past right before my eyes and heart. This movie meant alot to us now in our fifties passing it on to our children children's
I want to cry. Such great memories from this movie.
Sending love from China, SISTER ACT I& II was the very first VCD my mom bought for me, so, that was the time I konw soul gosple、r&b music, thanks for that 🥰
Marc Shaiman is already a HUGE legend and I LOVE that he gave Marvyn Warren his flowers here! I have been a fan of Mr. Warren's work for decades, but a lot of people don't know him yet. I hope they do now! Class act, Mr. Shaiman!
Cheryl Lee Ralph played Laurn Hill's mother in this movie, but she has been "MUTHAH" in real life ever since!!!!! ICON!!!!!!
Mervyn Warren is legendary in the field of Soundtracks,Production,Contemporary Jazz,Contemporary Christian,Contemporary Gospel and Pop Music in general but yes he should be more known from this appearance. From his days in Take 6 he became known in the industry at large.
@@damianbloomfield7692 I remember him from Take 6! I think he did my favorite recording of Handel's Messiah, "A Soulful Celebration!"
Please make a Sister Act 3. We need it Ms. Whoopi ❤
They are making a sister act 3, but it would be amazing to see all of them back
They are doing it on Disney+. Not sure who will be returning but they did say it's Sister Act 3 and not a reboot. So we will see.
Sheryl is sooooooo gorgeous❤❤❤❤
Yes!❤
Insanely Gorgeous!!
Yes that joyful joyful arrangement and performance is 👌🏾🫶🏾👏🏾
This is pure happiness. What an incredible moment to be a part of and a beautiful cast of people.
Watching this brings tears to my eyes @ my age cos of the sweet memories. Thank you Whoopi and all the actors
Sad that Maggie Smith couldn't make it but understand since she doesn't really travel anymore.
A few years ago the sisters from the first film reunited on The View, and they showed a beautiful video that Maggie had provided, recollecting how much she laughed while making the movies. It’s well worth watching.
Tbh.... Sister Act 2 is my favorite. The music, the artists, sooooo 90s & I just love it!!!!❤
Whoopi is looking great and younger.
She is. So happy she has dropped some of the weight!!
To this day iget chills when they sing Joyful Joyful, Lord we adore thee, at the end of the movie, and to see who arranged that, was excellent, he did great arranging that song. Sister Act 3 will be a super hit when it comes out. ‼️
The 6-5-24 Sister Act 2 Cast on the View is one of the best shows yet. Loved it so much!
I love this movie. I still have both of them and watch them from time to time. Guess what I'm watching later tonight.
"And the tape recorder too.." THE CHOIR IS OUT! So many memorable lines!!! I love this movie so much!
Marc Shaiman is a legend! Every one of them are legends!
I still have the VHS and tape's official soundtrack. Love this movie.
Loved Sister Act 2 this movie inspired me to sing and do theatre 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for testimony !
I love Sheryl's accent
Genius arrangement or reimagining of Beethoven's Ode to Joy. Never gets old.
So glad they included Kathy Najimy. She is an ICON. Whoopi should have invited her from the beginning
Escuchme?
@@missytechlpYes! Whoopi did not like her and did not invite her to be part of the team until she got backlash on social media. Whoopi is not the nicest person just like most people
@@javiruiz8365 I love Kathy, she voiced Peggy Hill on King of the hill. Escuchame is a reference.
@@javiruiz8365 and that really shows in these interviews.
Whoopi Goldberg is one of the nicest people, the things she does for others without telling anyone are going to come out in spades when she is gone as it was with her friend Robin Williams. Being opinionated and at times wrong doesn't make you a bad person. Just human.
Since my adulthood, every time I feel down, sister's act 2 has been my go to movie to alleviate my mood. I have watched it countless times and it does the magic every time. Glad I grew up with that movie.
This is still my favorite movie from the 90s. Know every word! ❤
AMAZING!!! I LOVE, LOVE, Sister Act!!! That is one of the movies I can watch over, and over again and still laugh. I watch the reunion and everyone in my family cried! So emotional.
I LOVE Sister Act 1 and 2!!! We need part 3!!
It’s coming to Disney+ next year
YES!! YES !!! Yes!!! WE NEED MORE OF THIS! LOVELY, WONDERFUL, FANTASTIC! THIS MADE MY WHOLE WEEK ! I HOPE THEY PUT OUT A RECORD OR GO ON TOUR, MAYBE A SISTER ACT 3 WE NEED THIS IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Maaan how time truly flies! I vividly remember this when it came out. Enjoyed that time period and definitely this movie.
This movie got me through my teens. It was uplifting and left me feeling great, so thanks to the cast for that.
4:23 Noon This is a beautiful show, the cast is wonderful!
30 years already!

What a lovely segment 💯💯💯💯
Where is Lauryn Hill?! She was one of the main characters too. Loved this movie and the first Sister Act. Hard to believe it’s Sister Act 2 30th Anniversary! Time flies!
Mervyn Warren was part of the legendary Vocal group take 6 .
He made the musical score for A Walk to Remember
Baby if they come out with a Sister Act 3!!!! Its going to blow the box office wide open!!!!!!!!
Tears in my eyes! Both Sister Act films are ICONIC but Sister Act 2 made we wish I was a part of their class
I’m flying out to see extended family for my grandmothers funeral in 2 days. The last time we are all together, my cousins and I were kids. My uncle purchased Sister Act II and we watched it like 200 times. I still didn’t know what exactly the Ice Capades were until Wikipedia came out 😂
3:42 That's the funniest example of "do as I say not as I do" ... best scene from the film!
This film is timeless. It's so important to have teachers who can level with kids and get down to their level and encourage them, inspire them, and motivate them. I feel these sisters to these kids were like the amazing teachers I had in my life who saw me, reached out to me, advocated for me, and motivated me to go out in the world with courage and conviction. Be a good person, do good things, etc.
I was 14 years old and this was THE BEST nostalgic memory EVER! AMAZING JOB! 🗣🥰🙌🏾✨️
Sheryl with the unadulterated Jamaican accent. Love it!
These movies will always be two of my absolute favourites. From start to finish, everytime.
Sister act is one of my all time favorite films ever!!! I still remember every feeling I got watching this glorious production. I LOVE these movies so much they will always hold a special place in my heart.
YES, MUSIC DECISIONS WERE EVERYTHING FOR THIS FILM. LOVE IT!
Me and my best friend just discussed where are they now from sister act 2,while she watched and heard the songs over the phone this is AMAZING🙌🏾😍❤️
I could sit and watch this all day!! This brings up so many emotions for me, just pure joy and tears. Didnt realize how much this film and the characters meant to me in my childhood. One of the greatest films of the 90s and best believe my future children will grow up on it too!
I keep listening it makes me feel good
Wow! I didn't realize I was so young when this came out... we watched it sooooooo many times. Not sure what you should watch, Sister Act. The 1st was super cool. their nuns were something else. Ms. Sheryl is a treasure, too, with a beautiful spirit and looks amazing. She looks my age, makeup hair outfit, h2t. ❤❤❤❤❤
This episode today was so good!!! You all did well. I did this with the youth department at my church back in the 90's and every child was a part of it. They loved it. This movie inspired generations. Thank you, Whoopi. Wish Lauryn Hill would have joined you all. Maybe next time :)
I'm binge watching Sheryl on Its a Living from the 80's
Loved her on that and "Designing Women"s last season and "Moesha".
That was my show
I love "It's a Living"! I loved watching that as a child in the '80s, and I just binged the series a few months ago. Sheryl made a great addition to the cast.
@@Heartboy1031yes, loved her on Moesha! 💖
I grew up in Tasmania, Australia. I had Sister Act 2 on DVD. I played Oh Happy Day and Joyful Joyful over and over so many times I nearly wore a hole in the DVD. To this day they are both 2 of my favourite songs of all time. Those voices!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember hearing Joyful Joyful in the movies and I became overwhelmed with tears of Joy. To this day it still happens when I hear it
Best thing on the internet today! ❤
So cool loved this movie. Wow look at Mervin Warren (take 6) had no idea he produced the music
I’ve loved this movie since it came out when I was in elementary school.. I went to a private Catholic school in Corpus Christi, TX and all our teachers were nuns.. I was part of the schools show choir and we did a rendition to joyful joyful and I still remember the dance until this day because it was so close to the routine that was in the movie.
My siblings and friend loooooved this movie as kids ourselves at the time and so do ours kids! There’s a home movie of us doing Joyful, Joyful including the entire choreography😂 What a time. This reunion has made my whole week! Thank you for doing this.
Please have Maggie Smith!
Everyone looks so good!
where's Bill Duke though?
Awesome!!!! This reunion made my day!! I still watch this movie whenever it’s on!! ❤❤❤❤
Sister act my favorite ❤
If kathy najimy isnt in the next one… i dont want it!
SHE'S NOT THE MAKE IT OR BREAK IT PERSON EVERYONE WANTS FOR THE 3RD MOVIE,
LAUREN HILL AND WHOOPI ARE THE REAL STARS
@@EGYPTSCOTT882why are you yelling?
