Oprah Winfrey is calling her upcoming interview with R&B diva Whitney Houston “The best interview I’ve ever done.”
In a two-day TV event beginning Monday, Sept. 14, The Queen of Talk sits down with Whitney for a “jaw-dropping, open, honest and candid” conversation about her 14-year marriage to Bobby Brown, drugs, rehab and her journey back from near disaster.
“I think it’s the best interview I’ve ever done. But I guess you’re supposed to let other people say that about yourself. I can’t think of a moment, ever, when I had a stronger connection to the person I was interviewing,” Oprah said in a statement Tuesday. “My approach to this interview was to not be judgmental in any way, and not to go in trying to get her to say things to make a ‘moment.’ I just wanted to be able to have an honest conversation with her. One woman to another woman. And the day of the interview I literally prayed about that all day long. I just wanted a connection between the two of us. And that is what happened.”
O continues, “I think whether you liked or loved Whitney Houston before you will certainly have a deeper appreciation for what she has been through as a human being. And I mean, the fans are just going to love her even more.”
Whitney’s new comeback album, I Look To You, is expected to debut at #1 on the Billboard charts later this week.
