  • She was a music icon, and one of the greatest female songwriters of all time. Now the story of Amy Winehouse’s life, and incredible talent is being retold in big screen biopic ‘Back To Black’ - but what was it like for actress Marisa Abela stepping into those huge shoes and donning that notorious beehive? Marisa joins us live in the studio today to talk about the daunting challenges playing a cultural icon, the real villain in Amy’s story, and why this film aims to celebrate the very best of a music legend.

    @This Morning - Marissa Abela is clearly a lovely respectful person and human being. She totally researched everything about Amy Winehouse so as to give her justice in such a film as this representation of her as a person, her life and music. For that reason, Marissa was the perfect actress for this special role. To all those in the comments that are being completely disrespectful to the actress Marissa herself, simply because they are unhappy this film was made at all, be happy and respectful that this calibre of person and talented woman was chosen for this iconic role.

    Saw it today. She was superb, simple as that. The subtle little moves while singing, that somewhat awkward dancing Amy did on stage - she was a fabulous singer but one thing she wasn't was a trained dancer - and Marisa caught that brilliantly. As for the singing; Amy Winehouse has a unique and instantly recognisable vocal style and Marisa came very very close at times to capturing that. So much so that, unless you've listened really closely to Amy singing these songs and you've noted all the subtle nuances of her phrasing and delivery you'd be hard pushed at times to tell the difference. An award-worthy performance and I hope she gets the recognition she deserves.

I know this films getting a lot of stick and bad feedback but it’s honestly such a great biopic. I went into this loving Amys music but not know much about her, it was so sad but told beautifully. People saying “oh cast Raye, Lady Gaga instead!” NO ONE will ever beat Amy Winehouse, she was her own person her own voice. I think Marisa did an amazing job at portraying her.

    As a huge Amy fan I was worried I wouldn't enjoy this and that the performance wouldn't capture Amy especially the voice but I take it back. This performance was fantastic. Her voice was so so good
