“American Idol” season seven winner David Cook performed in Singapore last week for the third anniversary of ION Orchard and was in the city to promote the upcoming season of the reality show.

The rock star, who performed in Jakarta for the first time in July, played an intimate acoustic set on Thursday night. He entertained his fans with his wit and humor on stage and impressed the audience with an impeccable performance that highlighted his wide vocal range.

Besides delivering his best-known hits, such as “The Time of My Life,” the 29-year-old artist also threw in a handful of surprises, including a cover of Prince’s “Purple Rain.”

At the end of the performance, he was in for a surprise himself, when organizers brought out a durian pancake for Cook to try on stage. Judging from his face after taking one bite, it is safe to say that should he come back to Southeast Asia, it won’t be for the “king of fruits.”

Prior to the show, Cook sat down with a handful of journalists from Indonesia to talk about his upcoming album, his memories of Jakarta, and why charity work is so important to him.
