One thing YouTube is good for

I love listening to this Tongan kid, Ben Mataele, sing. His voice reminds me a lot of IZ (the guy who made the ukelele version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" famous).

Singing "Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5


Here he is accompanying his buddy, Adam Ashby, in singing "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz


And for my Mormon peeps, here's "How Can I Be?" written by Nela Otuafi of SLC

love the videos. reminded me of my mission and all of the tongan and samoan elders singing all of the time. Why does it seem like all polynesian men can sing?? Also, I've been craving an outing for ice cream...cuando podemos? llamame :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE ALL THESE! I shared them with my mom. She wants to know if he has a CD. :) There were some Tongan cousins that sing that served their missions TOGETHER in our ward a few years back and they visited my little brother in the hospital often when he was sick.
