well, the top 8 contestants on american idol performed songs from the 80s last night today we have our idol chatter panel, with a special panel list to discuss last night's performance. jack diamond always good to see you >> i think we will do the guest last, marcus johnson,. >> how you doing. >> local artist, rapper, rob who received an mtv, break out best artist nomination welcome to the show. >> hello. >> good morning to you. >> nice to have you here offerling the other female perspective i couldn't do this without you. >> so you know, music from the 80s this is -- i love the era of music overall i thought it was a pretty good show. >> a great show. and you know enthusiastically

when we walked into the studio marcus and i were talking about the fact everybody really ponied up the difference this year, is all of these kids are making these songs their own they are not doing them verbatim they are doing break downs, prechoruses, changing things up it made it an interesting year a great night for almost everyone. >> almost. >> i think jack and i were talking about the level they have you have to have an identity and confidence, to do what colten did and then give a shout out to the band, that you took the arrangement from, that is a level of class, that you get with experience or i just think now because maybe shows like american idol the artists come in having a certain level of experience. >> you can attest to that you need to walk on the stage with a certain amount of swagger. >> absolutely just about all the performers seemed ready the

presence was there the stage presence was phenomenal from beginning to end. >> let's look at some of these performances i think deandre has been looking for his voice last night he might have found it with the classic from debarge i like it here is deandre and his beautiful head of hair ♪ [ music ] >> i wish we could watch him go into his falsetto. >> he did a good job i like his style he seemed more comfortable last night but it may be too little too late to save him he is one of the guys on the bubble but when you stack him up against jessica sanchez at 16 is rocking every song we will talk about a few other performers deandre as good as he was last night i don't think stacked up to the others. >> and he goes well, i am only

17 is that an excuse jessica sanchez is 16. >> well, i don't think age is an excuse but i think he showed up last night and it might have been his lifesaver moment. >> someone has to go home >> i don't think it will be deandre >> i kind of laugh i am smiling about the whole milly vanilli thing. will leave that alone. >> i just thought that he may have stepped -- i would have loved to have seen a little more comfort in his performance he is still trying to get it. >> you use falsetto and think of people like robin thicke use it strategically. >> so colten i am not a big fan of his but i thought last night with his time after time he did a good job look at him and his new hair do. blond is a little bit more tame ♪ [ music ] >> marcus >> absolutely ready, i want to tell you it wasn't the best

vocal performance of the night, it was flat but the best performance of the night. >> really. >> the best? >> the duet that we will probably talk about, rocked this cat is ready the way that he interacted with the band, the band members and jumping and running around when i am on stage, you don't teach that, that is something it is your identity, it is who you are. >> it was a powerful performance, i think it pulled you in didn't feel like you were watching american idol felt like you were watching a seasoned performer just there, sharing a song. i thought it was good. >> he had a better performance last night that he has had. he has been uneven, i think that is probably the thorn in his paw is being uneven and unpredictable but i agree absolutely with marcus, the kid is a star and has the whole

show business the vibe he is with the band look at him strutting on stain here, fooling around with the players that is a good thing and look at the production value on this, a strong performance but the vocal was flat he can learn that. >> somebody i think has the entire package is joshua, i cannot believe you thought that was the best performance when you had joshua doing this ♪ [ music ] ♪ >> the whole little group and then walks out. taking awhile to get to it here he is coming up and the performance of the night was the duet between joshua and jessica here he is. >> right there he shuts it down. >> i was blown away, by this performance, even in listening to the original song which was powerful, this version he definitely took it home. >> i think it was probably the second best performance of the night. i agree he really showed a

great deal of depth and i want to use the word depth some of these artists it is flashy and trashy a little hair and clothes and dancing this kid came out here and look at him, he is just walking out there, and getting it done. >> getting it right >> into your eye and soul. >> marcus? >> looking at it now i still get the tingles you know what i mean, you said there were five performances last night that gave me the tingles this was one of them. i think it was the second best vocal performance. >> yep >> i distinguish vocal performance from overall i am waiting for it he was confident he rocked it. i would have preferred a black shirt more than a white but you know i realize they are setting him up his stylist is setting him up for luther but he has his own voice i love it. >> we got to end it there see who goes home tonight thank you, do come back and visit us one day soon. >> congratulations.

>> skyler was the best. >> oh, no, we will continue this. we will be right back

and west hey, if you are watching out this morning win chester, 46 degrees for you, 46 hagerstown and 50s here to the south, 55 quantico, 52 in annapolis afternoon highs yesterday, mid-70s. today, only upper 50s low 60s you get the idea we are going to be much cooler than yesterday, this is closer to where we should be, even a degree or two colder than usual there is your satellite radar not a lot to talk about, shower activity, and is our cold front from yesterday is just hanging out to our south and what is going to happen here area of low pressure going to drag that moisture south and east some clouds will spill into the region particularly if you are watching south and west, route 29, down towards culpepper you for us, high see cloud cover pressure keeping things on the cool side for the next couple days there is your surface features, cold front area of low pressure warmth temporarily squashed south in for a cool

couple days cold nights when we mention the next couple overnights temperatures will fall back into the 30s and low 40s get ready for a cooler regime. your forecast lots of sunshine much cooler than yesterday, 15 degrees cooler, 61 your daytime high winds out of the north at 5 to 10 miles per hour breezy this morning later this afternoon winds will lighten up and we will be down right cold tonight chilly overnight 40 your overnight low and let me mention if you are off to the north and west, some upper 30s, if you are outside the belt way, next couple mornings we will be on the cold side let me mention we already have a freeze watch issued for early saturday morning for lots of counties north and west we have been talking about the whole tender vegetation issue and if you got tender vegetation you are going to want to bring it in particularly saturday morning sunday morning as temperatures off to the north and west will likely be at or below freezing you can see lots of sunshine, nice warming trend around here by easter sunday up near 70.

that is a look at your weather forecast, i am going to throw it out there she is to audrey outside doing garden talk. >> thank you tucker isn't this beautiful? i love this. >> it is. >> a lot of people are hosting easter and pass over gathering next few days or so, you might get a seasonal gift of some plants or some flowers, but a lot of people don't really know how to take care of that we can tell you there are ways to make all your plants and flowers last longer if you know what to do, so derek thomas is here from thomas landscaping to give us some tips this morning. >> right. >> how to keep our stuff looking fresh for a lot longer. >> the thing is, the biggest and most important feature is knowing what the plant is, and what condition it is going to need. for instance, the lilies which we've now named easter lilly but it is a lilium in the hill by family they look full sun

rich soil gerber daisy prefers rocky soil by full sun your hyacinth is a spring bulb it will grow after a period of times the done. now, the hydrangea a great gift plant and a lot of people wonder why it is a little more pricey than lillystuff like that, is because the hydrangea after it has bloomed what you want to do andly actually get rid of one of these blooms to show the viewers, you want to take and cut it, right below where the bloom came out, okay so you want to remove that when the bloom is spent, take this and put it out into your garden and this is one from last year, if you are challenged with your space, you can actually plant it in a pot, and a hydrangea will grow and bloom in a pot for years to come. >> that is good to know because they are so beautiful. >> they prefer a little more shaded now i want to do a

little project for the viewers, so say that you don't have a garden but you want a mix of plants all yearlong. what we are going to start out with, these are tulips they are done they are spent. >> right. >> but what i am going to do is layer these in, as the first layer, okay so these bulbs will go down. once these -- i am going to go ahead and cut these away just for illustrative purposes. >> mm-hmm. >> once these turn completely yellow this year if you are doing a container like this, you plant these down, you plant them a little lower, than what you were anticipating now what we can do is, those bulbs are at the right depth to come back next year, what we can now do is we can create a seasonal planter, that is going to be gorgeous, all season long, that is a begonia, a tuberus beowen

yeah this is a plant -- begonia, this is is a plant called creeping charlie in the back we will pop in a corral bell, now, you've created a beautiful container that will stay on your patio, on your front door on your entry, all season long, and the great thing about it is next year, the corral bells the creeping charlie will come back and the tulips will come up next spring on cue. >> so i don't have to worry about my tulip bulbs. >> being buried underneath absolutely not so you will get like double bang for the buck with that container. >> now what about lilies because that is such an easter kind of thing pass over. >> right. >> will those come back next year. >> every year make sure you do a really rich loam cut them off below the lowest bloom a lot of people want to just cut it here if you leave the seed head that zaps the plant from energy cut

it below the lowest bloom put it outside in good rich loam and you will have lilies for years to come. >> dead heading with a purpose. >> absolutely if you know the plant things like the daffodils which are sold now, they can be put into your garden in a sunny or in a shaded location, and you can enjoy those for years to come. >> now suppose you don't have much of a green thumb you just want to keep them how long could you keep them looking pretty? >> indoors. >> a few weeks indoors make sure you don't let the soil mass dry out these plants have been forced which means that hydrangea should look like this, so make sure that you keep it moist because it has been forced into bloom, if you keep it moist and you don't have a lot of leaf loss you can take that plant and put it outdoors and it should rebloom for you this summer. >> derek some great really great advice. i think about all the

hydrangeas i've tossed. >> stop tossing them. >> now that i know i will thank you very much. >> don't go away we will be right back [ man ] did we get a anything good?
