Dolly Parton says the grace of God and good friends helped her from meeting the same tragic fate as Whitney Houston.
Dolly Parton believes her good friends and God stopped her from ending up in a similar situation to late singer Whitney Houston.Jacked from Contact Music
The country musician believes the singer - who died of accidental drowning due to the effects of heart disease and cocaine use last month - failed to ''make sure she was surrounded by the right people, and the right things'', and the country star is grateful to her ''close friends'' for not ending up in a similar situation.
She said: ''I've always had good and close friends, and a spiritual faith. God will take the wrong people and things out, and teach me to have the right people and the right things.
''Some people don't have that, and that's where it can go wrong.''
Whitney covered the 66-year-old music legend's original 1974 composition 'I Will Always Love You' for the soundtrack of the her 1992 movie 'The Bodyguard', and the country singer is grateful for the singer for making the song ''popular worldwide''.
She explained: ''I thank God every day for that song - and Whitney made it popular worldwide. It's a very simple song, really, as simple as anything I've ever written.''
Dolly enjoyed writing the score for her forthcoming musical '9 to 5' - which is based on the 1980 film 'Nine To Five', which she starred in - for both male and female singers as she feels able to relate to both sexes because she has always been able to ''think like a man''.
She added to the Daily Mail newspaper: ''I often said I look like a woman, but I can think like a man, meaning I never felt I had to take a back seat to anybody and I always knew how to hold my own. That's why I enjoyed writing the score from the male and female perspectives.''

Those good friends should've stopped her from mutilating herself. Man is she ugly.
Too soon, Mrs parton. I have no beef w/ you but that was so disrespectful ( Stephen A. Smith voice)!!!!
She told the truth.. It wazit too Soon, it was Too Late for whitney to hear.
But then again,folks like Houston chose that lifestyle,the woman didn't want a clean/sober environment.
RIGHT RIGHT..... SOME OF THOSE SO "CALLED GOOD FRIENDS" SHOULD HAVE TOLD HER TO SHUT THE HELLO UP!
It takes a lot of moey to be that ugly
Unless D.P. is going to spill the beans on herself and tell us about her "almost" descent into darkness, then she needs to be quiet. Whitney thought she had God and good friends on her side too. She lost the battle is all.
if you say so .
Dolly, God couldn't save your face from that terrible plastic surgery you had. You look like the puppet Madame's twin sister. You need to forget about Whitney you have a bigger problem your face. You should sue your plastic surgeon for malpractice.
the best singer whitney i really love her song.. best singer ever..
Actually Nubian Godless, Voodoo High priestess of AmunRa, Dolly Parton owns the writing credits to the song she wrote, and Whitney blew up. Even though her voice is mediocre, she still has a whole lot more than your stupid hating ass.
Wow. I'm a regular of this site and other urban blogs and the hate I usually see is hilarious but on some REAL shit...
Dolly Parton is a well respected artist who never has anything negative to say about anyone. She keeps to herself, and if you re read what she said, its thoughtful insight. Why bash on what she said? So quick to stick up for Whitney, when Whitney didn't even love herself enough to stick up for herself and get clean.
So I guess go ahead and crack on someones appearance, its the next logical step I guess.
Anon@604pm--LOL; you're funny.
