The new biopic of the late songstress Amy Winehouse, titled after her iconic 2006 album "Back To Black," has been meticulously crafted with the blessing of Amy's family. However, a notable omission has stirred conversation.
Fans cannot believe and do not understand why Amy's spontaneous and uproarious hot mic incident involving Justin Timberlake has been omitted from the film.
In a moment that captivated the internet, Amy's Grammy win for her hit "Rehab" coincided with Justin Timberlake's nomination for a song with a cheeky title. Amy's unfiltered reaction to this coincidence became legendary, showcasing her irreverent wit.
In a candid moment captured on camera, Amy found herself unwittingly in the spotlight as the nominees were being announced. Presenter Natalie Cole revealed Justin Timberlake's breakup ballad, What Goes Around... Comes Around, prompting an unfiltered reaction from Amy.
With a mix of disbelief and amusement, she couldn't resist commenting on the title, turning to someone nearby and quipping, "His album's called What Goes Around... Comes Around?"

The tension peaked when "Rehab" was announced as the victor. Amy's expression transformed from astonishment to speechlessness, her mouth agape in disbelief as the audience erupted in applause.
While the biopic faithfully recreates the tension of that award-winning moment, Amy's humorous quip about Justin Timberlake has been noticeably absent.
Critics have taken aim at the biopic's portrayal, accusing it of presenting a sanitized version of Amy's tumultuous life and career. Amy's journey, marked by highs and lows, tragically concluded in 2011 due to alcohol poisoning when she was only 27 years old.
The biopic, Back To Black, helmed by director Sam Taylor-Johnson, 57, has garnered attention, particularly with speculation swirling around her husband Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 33, as a potential successor to the James Bond mantle.
Marisa Abela, in the leading role as Amy, has been lauded for her portrayal despite the film's lukewarm reception. While veteran critic Peter Travers criticized the movie as "sanitized and superficial" to ABC News, he commended Marisa's performance.
Back To Black premiered in the UK on April 12th, but it took over a month before securing a theatrical release in the United States, finally hitting screens this past Friday.
