Exclusive: Whitney Houston opens up to Oprah--9-14-09

Oprah Interviews Whitney Houston




A Two-Day Television Event

Oprah launches her 24th season of The Oprah Winfrey Show with what she calls "the most anticipated music interview of the decade." In back-to-back episodes starting Monday, September 14, Oprah sits down with Whitney Houston for a candid, revealing, no-holds-barred interview. In a world exclusive, Whitney opens up for the first time in seven years—drugs, rehab, marriage, divorce, her new album.

No topic is off-limits. Winfrey asks the questions on everyone's minds: "When did the drugs start?", "What finally made you decide, 'I’m out of this marriage'?" and "Were you afraid that you had lost the voice?"

Since her 1985 self-titled debut, Houston has built an illustrious career that has generated more than 170 million combined worldwide sales of albums, singles and videos. Cited by the Guinness World Records as music's "most awarded female artist of all time," with an unsurpassed tally of 411 awards, inclusive of six Grammys, two Emmys, 23 American Music Awards and 16 Billboard Music Awards. Houston remains a singular force in music today.
