David Cook Attends the Taste For A Cure Fundraiser

David Cook attended the Taste for a Cure Fundraiser for the Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation. The gala took place at The Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Fun!

Same here! :tongue1_tb: Those pics are just lovely. :wub_tb: I really admire Cookie for his support for cancer charities.
There are some additional great pics from the Taste for the Cure event on the David Cook Livejournal Community; not positive, but you may need an LJ account and to join the community to see the whole thing. The main post with links to all images is:

In sum: fear not the shaggy Cook, for there shall be hotness.
The performance pics weren’t up at wireimage this morning. I’m going to grab those and post them!
Nice pictures.
I’d love to hear a full acoustic version of LoAP with better sound quality than you could hear at the homecoming, but I guess that’s one of the benefits of actually going to the fundraiser for the worthy cause….
That performance pic is all kinds of hotness. I wish we had audio/video of this one. The world can never have enough acoustic TWIK!
A video interview with David from E! Right Here.
Also, a personal account of meeting David at the event Here.
What a wonderful event for DC to be involved with (along with his new BFF).
Count me among those who would like to hear the acoustic LOAP.
He looks great, as usual. Not so sure I’m liking the short jacket but I will forgive him since he just looks so damn good.
But, seriously, I’m sure it meant a lot to him to be invited to perform for such a worthy cause.
Jolene,
Thanks for the clips.
It certainly doesn’t seem that he is the “bad boy” that he was being portrayed as because he (gasp!) gave his brother a kick-ass 21st b-day bash.
I’m glad no one was sizing me up for the tabloids when I gave my sister a 21st bash (let alone my own). I would probably be considered “evil” or something.
I digress. I hope he can continue to do more to raise awareness and funds for cancer research, as it touches the lives of so many and is obviously very close to his heart.
OK, this may be stupid, but what’s on his pants? Looks like a bleach stain.
I think it’s one of those things where they purposely sandblast the denim to make a “hole” except they kept all the weft threads.
Yes it was fan war talk. Keep this post ON TOPIC PLEASE.
Reminder: Mjsbigblog = Not A Fansite
The event honored a Fox network executive and the Idol winner was always set to perform. Everyone was really happy when it turned out to be David Cook. I was there and his set was amazing. He also said some very nice things about cancer research at UCLA. Some in the audience came just to see him. Others – mostly older donors to the cancer center – didn’t know who he was but were easily won over by his humility and his incredible performance.
LOAP on youtube
I like it! I like Cookie today! ;D
TWIK is also on youtube from the Cure benefit. Not sure if whoever taped that was actually allowed or had a right to, but I thank them. =)
He sounded amazing!
This is an example of what this magician can do with his performances. He changes them up to sound even better than the originals. My favourite acoustic performance ever and loving TWIK the way I do, that really says something. He has such an emotional impact when he sings. Leaves me always wanting more.
Here are the awesome acoustic performances by Cook at the Taste for the Cure event to raise money for UCLA’s Jonsson comprehensive Cancer Center. Enjoy!
