large_whitney-houston-oprah-cissy-interventionjpgCheck out this clip of Oprah’s two-part interview with Whitney Houston, the first part of which will air this coming Monday.

The 46-year-old singer opens up to Oprah Winfrey in a candid interview, revealing how her life spiralled out of control, her struggle with drugs, the turbulent, ill-fated marriage with ex-husband Bobby Brown and how her family saved her.

Houston told Oprah that her mother came to her home with the police to conduct an intervention and get her out of the house and off drugs.

“Now looking at it, I see the love and passion that my mother had for me,” she told Winfrey. “She came and said, ‘It’s not worth it.’ She said, “If you move, Bobby, they’re gonna take you down. Don’t you make one move.’ And he stood there like, he was scared. And she said, ‘Let’s go.’ She said, ‘Let’s do this.’ She said, ‘I’m not losing you to the world. I’m not losing you to Satan. I’m not doing this. I want my daughter. I want you back. I want to see that glow in your eyes. That light in your eye.

    I am happy for whitney but I think she needs to take responibility for her actions.To me is putting all the blame on Bobby. He didnt force her to use drugs. What people forget is that Whitney is from Newark NJ and if dont know where that is,it is one of the worst parts of Jersey. I love Whitney but she is just as Ghetto as Bobby and that is why they hooked up. She needs to own up to her part of the drug use and stop blaming Bobby for being Cracked Out!!!!!

    Whitney.. I have and will always love you. There is nothing that you can do in life that will change that. I always knew that if you would just only turn back to God, EVERYTHING would be alright. He did it for you before and I knew that he would do it for you again. I believe in you and I know that from this point on…. The sky is the limit for you. I thank God for giving you a Loving mother to look over you. I feel as if I know you and I sing your songs in Karaoke all the time. (Not bad.. If I must say so myself.) LOL …Seriously you are the Queen of Music and there is nothing that you can’t do. I would love to meet you in person and perhaps some day I will When my movie is released. Take care and always remember this; In life we never go through things for ourselves,.. but for others, and truly you have touched millions with you life. God bless you,
