Oprah: THE VOICE. THE VOICE IS HERE. THE VOICE IS HERE.

WH's REPLY: THANK YOU.

Oprah: FOR ALL OF YOU -- FOR ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN WAITING TO SEE WHITNEY IN CONCERT, WE HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU. SHE'S KICKING OFF HER SUMMER TOUR TOMORROW RIGHT HERE IN CHICAGO. AND THEN SHE'LL BE PERFORMING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. AND IF YOU STAY TUNED, WE'RE GOING TO ROLL WHERE SHE'S GOING TO BE SO YOU CAN GET THE TICKETS IN YOUR PARTICULAR CITY. WHY NOW AFTER ALL THESE YEARS?

WH's REPLY: WELL, I THOUGHT THAT SINCE -- I DID DO A RECORD. I MADE AN ALBUM. AND IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS. AND IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO COME BACK OUT AND TO REACH THE PEOPLE. FEEL THEM, YOU KNOW. THAT'S AN ENTERTAINER'S -- IF YOU ARE AN ENTERTAINER AND PERFORMER, THEN IT IS NECESSARY FOR A PERFORMER WHO IS ANY KIND OF A PERFORMER TO REACH THE PEOPLE, TO FEEL THEM, TO TOUCH THEM SO THEY CAN -- IT'S A GIVE-TAKE THING.

Oprah: TO MAINTAIN CONTACT.

WH's REPLY: YOU DO.

Oprah: AND IT'S QUITE DIFFERENT I IMAGINE THAN BEING IN A STUDIO.

WH's REPLY: OH, YEAH. IT'S COLD, YOU KNOW.

Oprah: WHAT DID YOU FEEL LIKE WHEN YOU'RE UP THERE DANCING? I MEAN DURING THE COMMERCIAL BREAK, I ASKED, ARE YOU WORRIED YOUR BOOBS WILL FALL OUT OF THIS?

WH's REPLY: NO. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO HAVE WARDROBE THAT SECURES EVERYTHING. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THAT'S RIGHT.

Oprah: SO YOU KNOW THINGS WILL STAY WHERE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE.

WH's REPLY: THEY BETTER OR THEY'LL GET MORE THAN A SHOW THAN THEY REALLY DESERVE.

Oprah: BUT WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE UP THERE? EVEN IN A SMALL AUDIENCE LIKE THIS, CAN YOU TELL THE PEOPLE ARE FOR YOU.

WH's REPLY: IT IS THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD. I MEAN, IT'S LIKE A JOY THAT YOU CANNOT EVEN, LIKE, IMAGINE. IT'S JUST LOVE. A LOVE THING WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE INSTEAD OF JUST ONE. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? THAT'S LIKE A LOT OF LOVE COMING AT YOU.

Oprah: I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE JUST AT HOME BEING WHITNEY. I READ THIS "REDBOOK" ARTICLE ABOUT HOW MUCH FUN AND LAUGHTER YOU HAVE AT OPENLY.

WH's REPLY: WE LAUGH A LOT. MY KITCHEN IS THE LAUGHING PLACE. WE GET IN THE KITCHEN. YOU KNOW, LIKE ALL BLACK FAMILIES GET IN THE KITCHEN.

Oprah: I THINK WHITE FAMILIES, DO, TOO.

WH's REPLY: YOU HAVE A GREAT DINING ROOM AND -- WHITE FOLKS DO THAT, TOO, DON'T THEY? SAME THING.

Oprah: WELL, BLACK FOLKS ARE REALLY IN THE KITCHEN.

WH's REPLY: YEAH. WE'RE LOUD AND EATING AND TALKING.

Oprah: EATING.

WH's REPLY: YOU KNOW, WHERE MY FRIENDS AND PEOPLE I KNOW.

Oprah: ARE YOU COOKING IN THE KITCHEN OR DO YOU HAVE PEOPLE WHO COOK FOR YOU?

WH's REPLY: NO, NO, NO OPRAH. WHITNEY DON'T COOK. NO. BOBBY COOKS.

Oprah: BOBBY COOKS. AND WHAT'S HIS BEST MEAL?

WH's REPLY: HE DOES A MEAN HONEY CATFISH.

Oprah: HONEY CATFISH.

WH's REPLY: GIRL, I'VE GOT TO TELL YOU.

Oprah: THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMETHING -- MY FRIEND GAYLE DOESN'T COOK, BUT SHE CAN DO SCRAMBLED EGGS. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING.

WH's REPLY: SOMETHING I CAN DO? I CAN MAKE SPAG EAT EE.

Oprah: EVERYBODY THINKS THEY CAN MAKE SPAGHETTI. YOU CAN MAKE IT WITH THE SAUCE AND THE WHOLE DEAL?

WH's REPLY: I CAN MAKE IT. I HAVE ITALIANS IN MY FAMILY.

Oprah: AND YOU DON'T MEAN RAGU?

WH's REPLY: NO. I DON'T DO LIKE THAT. LORI DOES THAT STUFF.

Oprah: LORI? ARE YOU ONE OF THE PEOPLE IN THE KITCHEN, COUSIN LORI?

WH's REPLY: SOMETIMES, YES, WHEN MY MOTHER'S NOT, USUALLY.

Oprah: SO DO YOU GUYS -- WE'RE JUST TRYING TO GET AN IDEA. WHEN YOU'RE NOT SINGING AND ON TOUR, WHEN YOU WAKE UP, ARE YOU DRESSED IN --

WH's REPLY: CRAZY, LOOKING REAL --

Oprah: YOU'RE NOT LIKE DIVA DRESSING?

WH's REPLY: NO. WE'RE NOT LIKE THIS. WE'RE NOT WITH THE HAIR AND WE'RE NOT CUTE.

Oprah: YOU'RE JUST AROUND?

WH's REPLY: NO. WE'RE NOT CUTE IN THE MORNINGS. WE'RE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. WE HAVE TO BRUSH OUR TEETH AND WASH OUR FACES, THAT KIND OF THING.

Oprah: I WOULD THINK YOU WOULD WAKE UP LOOKING PRETTY GOOD.

WH's REPLY: BOBBY THINKS SO.

Oprah: WELL, THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

WH's REPLY: ALL THAT MATTERS, GIRL.

Oprah: THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS. YES. WELL, YOU KNOW, THE LAST TIME -- I JUST SAID TO THE AUDIENCE HERE WHAT IS PRIVILEGE IT IS TO HEAR YOU SING.

WH's REPLY: THANK YOU. HOW NICE.

Oprah: WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO PEOPLE -- MONICA WAS HERE THE OTHER DAY AND WAS SAYING YOU ARE SUCH AN INCREDIBLE ROLE MODEL FOR HER. WHAT DOES THAT FEEL LIKE TO BE A ROLE MODEL FOR ALL THESE GIRLS?

WH's REPLY: OH, MY GOD. IT'S SCARY.

Oprah: IS IT?

WH's REPLY: IT IS. YOU WANT TO BE THAT ROLE MODEL. YOU WANT TO BE THE EXAMPLE YOU SET FOR YOUNG WOMEN. IN MY CASE, IT'S A LOT OF -- MY LITTLE SISTER IS IN THE INDUSTRY, YOU KNOW. AND I GET A CHANCE TO TALK WITH THEM. AND WE HAVE -- MONICA AND I SPENT ONE EVENING IN L.A. FROM 12:00 UNTIL 6:00 IN THE MORNING JUST GO ABOUT BUSINESS AND LIFE AND THINGS THAT GO ON.

Oprah: LET'S LOOK TO SEE WHAT MONICA HAD TO SAY THE OTHER DAY. SO WHITNEY WAS A ROLE MODEL FOR YOU?

WH's REPLY: OH, YEAH.

Oprah: WHAT IS IT YOU WOULD WANT TO SAY TO HER YOU WANT HER TO KNOW SHE DID FOR YOU?

MONICA's REPLY: I WOULD HAVE TO SAY SHE MADE ME FEEL AS THOUGH I COULD ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. I SAW HOW DEDICATED SHE WAS AT 19, 20, 21. SHE WAS A VERY BIG PART OF MUSIC. I THINK MORE SO NOW I DON'T LOOK AT HER ACCOMPLISHMENTS, BUT I LOOK AT HER AN SEE HOW STRONG SHE IS REGARDLESS OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN THROWN IN HER DIRECTION, WHETHER IT BE RUMORS OR THINGS LIKE THAT, SHE'S DEALT WITH THEM IN SUCH A MANNER THAT I HAVE ESTABLISHED THAT SAME TYPE OF DETERMINATION WITHIN MYSELF.

Oprah: THAT'S MONICA ON WHITNEY.

WH's REPLY: OH, HOW NICE. YES.

Oprah: BUT ANOTHER THING, TOO, YOU SAID IN "REDBOOK" THAT GOING ON TOUR IS TOUGH FOR YOU AS A MOM. IS BOBBY CHRISTINA GOING TO GO?

WH's REPLY: YEAH. SHE'LL DO THE SUMMER TOUR WITH ME. THE HARD ONE IS THE EUROPEAN TOUR AND THAT WILL BE IN SEPTEMBER AND SHE STARTS FIRST GRADE THIS YEAR. SHE DID IT! YEAH.

Oprah: SHE GRADUATED KINDERGARTEN.

WH's REPLY: YES, YES. SHE GRADUATED KINDERGARTEN. MY DAUGHTER.

Oprah: I HEARD YOU ALWAYS DON'T -- THAT IN THE BEGINNING YOU USED TO LAUGH AT THE TABLOIDS, BUT YOU DON'T LAUGH ANYMORE BECAUSE YOU HAVE A CHILD.

WH's REPLY: YEAH. IT'S NOT THAT FUNNY ANYMORE, BECAUSE SHE HAS TO GO TO SCHOOL. SHE'S SO CUTE. CHILDREN CAN BE MEAN. THEY DON'T MEAN TO BE BUT THEY'RE VERY PAINFULLY HONEST. WHAT THEY READ AND SEE AND HEAR FROM THEIR PARENTS THEY COME BACK TO SCHOOL WITH IT A LOT, YOU KNOW. AND I'M VERY PROTECTIVE OF HER, YOU KNOW. AND I JUST DIDN'T WANT HER HURT BY UGLINESS. I DON'T. SO I FIGHT HARD.

Oprah: DO YOU THINK YOU'VE SURROUNDED YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE SORT OF INSULATED YOU AND GIVEN YOU A SENSE OF PROTECTION SO THAT YOU CAN FEEL SECURE ABOUT --

WH's REPLY: YEAH, I DO. I DO. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF -- MOST OF THE PEOPLE THAT HE WORK WITH ME HAVE BEEN WITH ME FOR AT LEAST 13, 14 YEARS. THAT'S A LONG TIME FOR AN ENTERTAINER TO HAVE JUST, YOU KNOW, A CERTAIN GROUP OF PEOPLE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THEY KNOW MY HABITS. THEY KNOW HOW I LIKE TO WORK. THEY KNOW WHAT I DON'T LIKE.

Oprah: UH-HUH. I SAW THAT.

WH's REPLY: YEAH.

Oprah: YOU KNOW, YOU'VE BEEN LABELED -- WE TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST TIME. YOU'VE BEEN LABELED AS A DIVA; PEOPLE HAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT WHEN YOU ARE, IT MEANS YOU'RE DIFFICULT TO GET ALONG WITH.

WH's REPLY: THAT IS NOT WHAT DIVA MEANS, THOUGH.

Oprah: THAT IS NOT?

WH's REPLY: NO. DEEF IS LIKE YOU'RE THE CREAM OF YOUR CROP.

Oprah: WELL, THAT YOU ARE.

WH's REPLY: THANK YOU.

Oprah: THAT YOU ARE. WHAT DO YOU LOVE THAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT YOU?

WH's REPLY: THAT'S A HARD ONE.

Oprah: COME ON.

WH's REPLY: OH, GOD.

Oprah: BECAUSE YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU'RE THE VOICE. BUT WHEN PEOPLE SAY, YOU THINK YOU-ALL ARE RIGHT. YOU KNOW THAT'S RIGHT.

WH's REPLY: YOU CAN SING. AND I SAY, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE RIGHT.

Oprah: SO WE KNOW, OBVIOUSLY, SINGING IS THE BEST THING THAT YOU DO.

WH's REPLY: YES. THAT'S THE BEST THING I CAN DO.

Oprah: WHAT WOULD BE THE SECOND BEST THING THAT YOU DO.

WH's REPLY: RIGHT THERE.

Oprah: OH, THAT'S GREAT. I HAVE TO SAY THIS -- I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS IN THE DRESSING ROOM ABOUT YOU AND ALSO THE LAST TIME YOU LEFT. SHE IS SO WELL BEHAVED. YOU ARE DOING A LOT OF THINGS RIGHT. I WAS SAYING THIS TO SOMEBODY UPSTAIRS. SHE IS REALLY WELL BEHAVED. YOU KNOW HOW YOU GET AROUND OTHER PEOPLE'S CHILDREN AND THEY'RE NOT WELL BEHAVED AND TRY TO ACT LIKE IT IN FRONT OF YOU. AND THE PARENTS ARE SAYING, SAY THANK YOU, AND THE CHILDREN ARE LIKE, WHAT? BUT NOT BOBBY CHRISTINA.

WH's REPLY: WHAT SHE DOES HERE, SHE DOES AT HOME. THAT'S THE THING. IT'S NOT ABOUT ACT A CERTAIN WAY WHEN YOU'RE OUT, YOU KNOW. I WANT HER TO BE THIS WAY CONSISTENTLY. SHE HAS HER TIMES. DON'T GET ME WRONG.

Oprah: WE KEEP WAITING ON THE NEXT LITTLE BOBBY SOMETHING BODY. LITTLE BOY OR LITTLE GIRL.

WH's REPLY: WE'RE WORKING ON IT.

Oprah: THAT'S WHAT YOU SAID THE LAST TIME YOU WERE HERE.

WH's REPLY: I KNOW. WE'RE STILL WORKING. WE'RE HAVING FUN.

Oprah: ARE YOU ENJOYING GETTING -- GROWING TOGETHER AND GETTING OLDER TOGETHER?

WH's REPLY: YEAH. THAT'S THE BEST PART, OPRAH.

Oprah: IS IT REALLY?

WH's REPLY: YOU GET PAST ALL THE MADNESS, YOU KNOW. YOU GET PAST ALL THAT STUFF YOU GO THROUGH IN THE FIRST FIVE OR SIX YEARS. BUT THEN YOU LOOK FORWARD TO THOSE YEARS COMING DOWN THE LINE. BECAUSE NOW WE KNOW EACH OTHER. WE'RE GROWN INTO EACH OTHER LIKE THIS. IT'S A NICE THING TO BE ABLE TO KNOW YOU WAKE UP TO SOMEBODY AND YOU GO, OH, IT'S THAT SAME PERSON. THAT'S NICE. THAT'S NICE.

Oprah: YEAH. IT'S BEEN, WHAT, SEVEN YEARS NOW?

WH's REPLY: YEAH. WE'VE BEEN MARRIED SEVEN YEARS.

Oprah: AND YOU'RE GROWING STRONGER TOGETHER?

WH's REPLY: YES, MA'AM.

Oprah: AND I THINK THAT RING LOOKS LIKE IT GOT BIGGER.

WH's REPLY: YEAH. I DOUBLED IT UP. IT'S WITH MY WEDDING BAND.

Oprah: IT GOT BIGGER.

WH's REPLY: YOUR EARRINGS LOOK LIKE THEY'VE GOTTEN A LITTLE LONGER, TOO.

Oprah: THEY DIDN'T. THEY'RE THE SAME OLD EARRINGS. DO YOU HAVE AN ALL-TIME FAVORITE SONG?

WH's REPLY: MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ü [singing] YESTERDAY, ALL MY TROUBLES SEEMED SO FAR AWAY... I LOVE THAT SONG.

Oprah: I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE YOURS?

WH's REPLY: NO. BUT I DO LIKE [singing] I THINK I'M GOING TO RUN ON

Oprah: BUT THAT VIDEO WHERE YOU'RE SINGING OWE [singing] AND I ü THAT ISN'T YOUR ALL-TIME FAVORITE OF YOURSELF?

WH's REPLY: NO. THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL IS MY FAVORITE.

Oprah: WHICH SHE'S GOING TO SING LATER TODAY. IT'S ALWAYS A JOY TO HAVE YOU HERE.

WH's REPLY: IT'S GOOD TO BE HERE.
