It’s Oprah official: Whitney Houston is back. She performed songs from her new album I Look to You on Good Morning America two weeks ago, marking her first television appearance in seven years. Yesterday’s Oprah featured the first half of a lengthy interview in which Whitney spoke about her music, her personal life, her drug addiction and her long absence from the spotlight.
“At that time in my life, I was going through such trauma,” she said. ”I thought that was enough for me. I had the money. I had the cars. I had the house. Had the husband. Had the kid. And none of it was really that fulfilling. For a time, I was happy. I was happy, but I needed that joy. I needed my joy back. I needed that peace that passes all understanding.”
Whitney said that ultimately, fame took its toll on her happiness. “When I became ‘Whitney Houston’ and all this other stuff that happened, my life became the world’s,” she explained. ”My privacy. My business. Who I was with. Who I married. And I was, like, that’s not fair. I wanted to go to the park. I wanted to walk down the street with my husband, hand in hand, without somebody looking at us or having the media always in my business. I just wanted to be normal.”
The rest of the interview continues today on Oprah, along with a performance.
Whitney Houston sits down again with Oprah and open up like never before about her past, present and bright future on her part 2 interview. Part 2 had a lot more to do with her breakup and divorce from Bobby Brown, her daughter, and her way to her new album, I Look to You. The second part of the interview was essentially just an expanded edition of the first one. That said the album was three years in the making, and unlike other albums that took a long time to make, fans like it. (Chinese Democracy…) With the new records’ success, Whitney Houston won’t need payday loans no faxing for some time.
