Mitch Winehouse has hit out at Beyonce's cover of Amy Winehouse's 'Back To Black', saying that she 'brings nothing' to it.

Beyonce recorded a cover of the track for Baz Lurhmann's upcoming film adaptation of the Great Gatsby, but Mitch is definitely not a fan - even saying that she should 'pay for the privilege' of covering an Amy Winehouse song.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Mitch said, "I don't think she brings anything to it. I wasn't asked for my permission if they could record it. They have got to pay for the privilege, which is what they are doing. I can't tell you how much it is but it's a lot of money."

A new snippet of Beyonce's version of the track - which she teamed up with Andre 3000 to record - has been released, but so far fans do not seem to be impressed.

Listen to the new snippet of 'Back To Black' below:

Fans are labelling the song a 'mess', and saying that Beyonce should have not covered the track.

One user wrote on YouTube, "They both BUTCHERED this flawless song. Poor Amy is rolling in her grave," with another user commenting, "I refuse to believe this is anywhere near finished."

The song features on the soundtrack of The Great Gatsby, alongside tracks from stars such as Lana Del Rey and Florence + the Machine.
