Descripción: Interestingly, this is our most-watched video worldwide in June, 2008 - but doesn't make the top 10 in the US/Canada. "Sister Act 2: Back In the Habit" was a somewhat predictable 1993 movie - but with many amazing musical performances. This set of performances is currently the #1 video on BestArts worldwide. This video includes some of the best music from the film, emphasizing student per...
