When it comes to her live performances, singer Amanda Black always puts comfort first with her mostly seen in outfits that allow her to move freely on stage, without limitations.
The ‘Amazulu’ hitmaker even performs barefoot, and keeps things simple, letting her performances just be about the music.
However, her outfit at the Maseru Jazz Festival has become the centre of attention instead of her performance.
A picture of Black on stage at the festival has trended online with many weighing in on her outfit of choice.
The picture, which was taken at an unflattering angle, showed Black’s short dress, revealing her under garments.
