Oprah阿姨說：惠媽專訪是她做過最好的一次訪問

Oprah: Houston interview is best she's ever done

Talk show host Oprah Winfrey calls her upcoming sit-down with singer Whitney Houston "the best interview I've ever done."

Winfrey said Monday in comments provided to The Associated Press by Harpo Productions that she "can't think of a moment, ever, when I had a stronger connection to the person I was interviewing."

According to Harpo Productions, Houston's daughter and producer Clive Davis attended the interview.

Houston also is to perform her new song "I Didn't Know My Own Strength."

The 46-year-old superstar hasn't done a major TV interview since 2002, when she addressed questions about her drug use from ABC's Diane Sawyer.

Winfrey kicks off the 24th season of Chicago-based "The Oprah Winfrey Show" with the two-part interview with Houston on Sept. 14 and 15.

當記者問Oprah阿姨，惠媽能否成功復出時，Oprah阿姨回答說：我想沒有啥復不復出成功的問題，應該說她是否真的走出那一段艱澀的日子；如果要深究惠妮是否能成功復出，我想答案是"她可以"....

Oprah阿姨說她當年看了Diane Sawyer的專訪後，隨即還在她自己的節目裡訪問了惠妮。當時她真的不知道有了那段驚爆閱聽大眾的訪問後，她該如何訪問惠妮。

在訪問惠妮的過程中，Oprah阿姨自述，她不想評斷或批判惠妮，她只是想在那陪著惠妮，讓惠妮知道有人支持她，為此，她們聊了好一會，才讓攝影師進來錄影。在惠妮專訪裡，惠媽一切都開誠佈公的坦白，交代了她何時吸毒、用了哪些毒品及那段日子她過得多麼荒唐....等等，當然惠妮也談及了她母親及家人如何用盡一切的努力，來拯救她脫離毒海。

Whitney Opens Up to Oprah Like Never Before

WHITNEY HOUSTON OPENS UP LIKE NEVER BEFORE AND DELIVERS A POWERFUL, ROUSING PERFORMANCE ON
"THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW" SEASON PREMIERE

***MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14th AND TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15th***

CHICAGO - In a special two-part television event starting Monday, September 14, Oprah sits down with Whitney Houston for what she calls a "jaw-dropping, open, honest and candid" interview. During this world exclusive, Houston speaks out for the first time in seven years about her marriage with Bobby Brown, drugs, rehab and how her family saved her. With friends and family looking on, including Clive Davis and her daughter Bobbi Kristina, Houston brings down the house with an emotional performance of "I Didn’t Know My Own Strength" from her new album "I Look To You."

Winfrey shares her personal reflections on what she calls "one of the most powerful interviews" of her career:

Oprah Winfrey: 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 Winfrey: My approach to this interview was to not to 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. And that is why I believe it's one of the most, if not the most, powerful interviews I've ever done.

Oprah Winfrey: 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.

"The Oprah Winfrey Show: Season Premiere: Oprah And Whitney Houston – The First Interview" airs Monday, September 14, 2009. "The Oprah Winfrey Show: Season Premiere Part II: Whitney Houston’s Show-Stopping Surprise" airs Tuesday, September 15, 2009 (check local listings).
