Whitney Houston’s Chilling Comments On Michael Jackson

Whitney Houston on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in 2009.

In a 2009 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Whitney Houston was asked how Michael Jackson's passing affected her -- and the singer's words are particularly chilling given her own untimely death at age 48.

The King of Pop died at age 50 from a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol in 2009.

Houston told Winfrey that his passing was "devastating".

With her voice shaking, the troubled songstress added, "I thought, 'This can't be true. This can't be true.' I knew he was on painkillers at one time. I didn't know how far and how deep it was."

Houston recalled taping Michael Jackson's 30th Anniversary Celebration with the King of Pop in 2001. Both stars appeared extremely frail at the event.

The singer remembered looking at Jackson and then looking at herself. "I was getting scared," she admitted. "I was looking at myself going, 'No, I don't want this to be like this. This can't happen. Not both of us.'"

Houston —- whose own substance abuse issues have long been documented -— revealed to Winfrey that she had been doing drugs at the time of the Jackson taping.

She said she "was worried" for him -- and for herself. "Mike and I were very close," Houston said. "No one have I ever met [was] quite like that young man," she later added. "And to have it in like that saddens me."

"Was he a mirror for you," Winfrey asked Houston.

"In some ways, yes," the diva replied. "I didn't want to go down that road."

Like Jackson, Houston was on the verge of a career comeback before her Feb. 11 passing.

A coroner's official says Houston's body was discovered underwater in a hotel bathtub (some prescription drugs were in her room).

It will take weeks to determine precisely how the megastar died.

A private funeral is set for Saturday in the New Jersey church where Houston first showed off her singing talents as a child.

Janet Jackson Recalls Whitney Houston in 'Prevention' Magazine

“I remember, it was at the Grammys, actually. It was the first time I was performing, actually…and someone from my camp was filming my performance backstage, and she and Luther Vandross were standing there, and you could hear Whitney — and Luther – in the background – just cheering me on during the whole performance. And I just thought: How sweet. How sweet is that? Such a beautiful soul, such a beautiful soul. And I wish more people would have had the opportunity to get to see that, to know that person, not just the entertainer, not just the voice….I don’t think there will be another like her, honestly. Granted, there will be someone else that comes along with a beautiful voice. But I don’t think a Whitney is gonna happen again.” – Janet Jackson

Having millions or even billions of dollars does not equal having everything.

Do you think I'm completely oblivious to the fact that money doesn't buy you happiness. I know very well it doesn't. Does not mean to say that the majority of those with it are unhappy because the majority of them are very happy. Hell, more than half OUR issues are to do with money. I attended a university where practically half the students are kids of millionaires. Their issues and mine were VERY different.
