WOW!| FIRST TIME HEARING Air Supply - Making Love Out Of Nothing At All REACTION

[@patriciaalvareztostado8170]

This song is 80s, Air Suplay is 80s music, great power ballad

[@bryanhunt6689]

One of the greatest voices ever

[@teresajock9466]

The 80s had so many power ballads, I am so thankful to have grown up with such amazing music. I wish everyone could feel that magic!!

[@EricLovesthe80s]

me too

[@Huntermark27]

Couldn’t agree more 😊

[@italoblu]

Save a Prayer!

[@sarahdixon1943]

I miss the 80s. The last several years have just sucked. There's so much division, violence, and anger. I hope things get better soon.

[@monkeysuncle2816]

And Jim Steinman wrote most of them!

[@UmarJamshed]

this is Jim Steinman's song - which he wanted Air Supply to sing. fun fact: Russell (lead singer) sang this song in the studio in the first take (no cuts at all). Steinman later said "what do we do now" - thinking and confused its not an easy song to sing, and Graham (the guitarist) said, we'll now we go home!

[@bringingtolightnj9127]

We used to listen Air Supply on the radio, late at night. You could call the station and ask them to dedicate it to someone you loved. Then you call that person and tell her/him to turn on the radio and hear your dedication.

[@Krisgenx]

How is it I can’t remember something from yesterday, but I remember every word of these songs…😂

[@rick330]

I just watched the lyric video and realized I sang half the words wrong as a kid.

[@melvinsmiley5295]

So true 😂

[@jeffjames1341]

I always loved how Russel just stands there and belts out these monstrous vocals with absolutely no effort at all.

[@michelecumming2723]

Saw them a couple years ago and he still sings so effortless hitting those notes

[@guillermojoaquinbello448]

Russell Hitchcock is an extraordinary vocalist but not given all the credit that he deserves among music critics. The important thing is that he's loved by millions of people worldwide. That's what really matters.

[@kathalinehansen7078]

Actually, she wants to break up with him.

[@incamoran9532]

No effort shows when lip synching. A good sign is watching the singer's neck for veins popping in high or power notes. If they don't there's a good chance it's a lip synch. In some cases the singer might be actually singing but it's a recorded track we hear. This makes it look a little more real.

[@blade3184]

Fun fact: I have seen Air Supply in concert many times and Graham Russell, who you see playing guitar, talks about how he actually plays the guitar upside down because he's left handed and thinks it sounds better. You can see in the video the tuning pegs are indeed upside down.

[@andymageen5308]

Another fabulous harmony that we just don’t hear anyone doing anymore. These guys provided many happy endings to a last dance. ✌️

[@chrispavlich9656]

Pentatonix

[@MrLastlap]

Late 70’s early 80’s the best music ever. Hands Down!

[@olanaowen7320]

I've seen them in concert several times, met them twice. Super nice guys to meet. Such an addicting concert experience.

[@magicalmiller]

"Every time I see you, all the rays of the sun are Streaming through the waves in your hair And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes Like a spotlight The beating of my heart is a drum and it's lost And it's looking for a rhythm like you You can take the darkness from the pit of the night And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright I've gotta follow it 'cause everything I know Well, it's nothing 'til I give it to you" HANDS DOWN this is some of the BEST lyrical magic that has ever been penned to paper.

[@leestewart72]

If you can't tell, Jim Steinman wrote that song. It has that unique operatic quality to it. Imagine Meatloaf singing it.

[@daveyhouston]

Jim stienman was a genius 😊

[@jgweems]

Yes, and didn't he write Total Eclipse Of the Heart?

[@michaelcarey8388]

Almost word for word what I was going to say

[@renep2220]

@@jgweems It sounds like TOTAL ECLIPSE now that you mention it . I'm not mad, love that one too. 😄💞

[@doplinger1]

Didn’t know that, but you certainly can hear it. Meatloaf woulda killed this!

[@TheLightSideReactions]

You can recognize a Jim Steinman song almost immediately by its operatic style. Classic!

[@markfadness9204]

"Making Love Out of Nothing At All" was the 8th and final Top 10 single that Air Supply charted on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking @ #2 for 3 weeks in 1983. Altogether, Air Supply charted 13 singles between 1980 - 1986.

[@hazeltyler89]

Russell Hitchcock is unmatched in his pitch, clarity and strength....his vocals soar. He's still got it too, at 74 years of age. Don't get me started on Graham and his unbelievable talent. I have loved Air Supply since I was 13 years old. Great reaction you two!!

[@normabreazile5500]

This is probably my favorite Air Supply song! I totally agree with Jay.. I love a ballad with a strong voice! ❤️ Lead singer-Russell Hitchcock Co Lead/ guitar- Graham Russell

[@BlackieNuff]

Haha, that's a cool before-and-after : Graham Russell Hitchcock

[@jennifermartin7791]

Russell Hitchcock has excellent natural pitch. It's very noticeable. I think it also really shines on "The Power of Love," one of my favorite songs to listen to. It never gets old to me.

[@pattyestrada6]

My favorite Air Supply song! It’s such an epic ballad. “Every Woman In The World” “Even The Nights Are Better” are other good suggestions.

[@BillGraper]

YES! AND YES!

[@anahills3836]

Oh ya! Great songs!

[@Fulschermd]

and 2 Less Lonely People..

[@bjdefilippo447]

Excellent choices!

[@lorilemley5348]

I agree. I love those two songs!

[@ChicagoDB]

Another of Jim Steinman’s masterpieces…as if “I Would Do Anything For Love”, “Paradise By The Dashboard Light”, “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now”, “Total Eclipse of The Heart”, “Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad” weren’t enough to be a legend.

[@jamesgonzales5285]

LRB and Air Supply... Masters of their Genres!!!

[@isebmazo2140]

Their early hits, Lost in Love. Love & Other Bruises, Empty Pages

[@lisalovemc717]

Air Supply were all over the 80s. Every year they had a massive hit.

[@lumariadp]

Love Air Supply, I don't care what people say. They're so good in concert, too. They sounded like the albums when I saw them 30 years after their heyday. SO good.

[@conneelandersmccasland2146]

My date said I didn't know he was in the room. I think he was right ....

[@bkm2797]

lumariadp, I gave up letting other people tell me what music is cool and what isn't, I listen to what moves me!

[@cindyharrison8997]

Loved them in concert, so true

[@satoricrush]

Saw them in 1995 in Atlantic City. My top 5 concerts of all time.

[@QuicknStraight]

yeah, i saw them in HK about 30 years ago. Great gig.

[@herobreaker9011]

It's the EPIC DRAMA of another fantastic Jim Steinman-written song. It's the same songwriter behind "It's All Coming Back to Me Now", "Total Eclipse of the Heart", and MOST of Meatloaf's catalog!!

[@DV80s]

Air Supply, Journey, Foreigner, Chicago, these bands were always on the radio in the '80s. They all had great music.

[@juliewhite7469]

💯% 🥰❤🎶

[@chrisoakley5830]

And all those groups started in the 70s.

[@DV80s]

@@chrisoakley5830 Yes, but these songs are from the '80s. And my pop music radio station I remember playing songs of theirs from the '70s.

[@kbrewski1]

All those bands (not including Air Suppository) had their best stuff in the 70s and became crappy Elevator music in the 80s. This dreck isn't even rock, its easy listening Lite, and music got even worse from there.

[@deborahlewis656]

Wolfman Jack anyone😂😂❤

[@gerardoreyes602]

Air supply is the band that made you stop, think or remember about that one special person 🤔 😢❤

[@kbrewski1]

Not for me!

[@jasonaugustine3370]

“Every Woman in the World “

[@jamesmorrison7692]

A great song written by the late great Jim Steinman, the guy who wrote all the Meatloaf hits and others. This is my favorite Air Supply song, and they still perform it brilliantly live in concert. Russell still has the voice, and the band they travel with now is tremendous. Thanks for reacting to this song, its a gem

[@mathewschlissel4633]

Steinman wrote it, Rick Derringer did the solo with Roy Bittan on keys and Max Weinberg on drums

[@meriannestoneback7436]

Agreed! One of my favorite songs by anyone. The video is really bad, but the song always gives me chills.

[@toddellison5128]

To help put this into context, the guy who wrote this song also wrote "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and “Holding Out For a Hero” for Bonnie Tyler, and Metaloaf's, “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” and “I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)” and Celin Dion's “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” . Steinman was the king of Power Ballads, for sure!

[@sandyhafenbrack141]

If you have a broken heart get yourself an Air Supply greatest hits CD and a bottle of wine. Air Supply will help you through it. You're Welcome.

[@jameshobbs1460]

Yet.. Another Fantastic and Enduring Band from Australia.. And yeah.. they are power ballad power houses!

[@traceypendleton707]

Bonnie Tyler does an amazing version of this too - fantastic ballads from the 80s cant be topped - good morning all of you from Nottingham England x

[@joimeeker3174]

To me, this is one of the most beautiful ballads ever recorded. The vocal gymnastics in this piece are stunning! The harmonies are hauntingly light and airy and the whole piece just expands to Heaven. Next try Power of Love. Ms Celine did a beautiful cover but these giys did it first.

[@Jagangela]

I used to love going through their albums and finding all the hidden gems.

[@itsjustmeMaryAnn]

Air Supply was my first concert EVER❤ early 80s

[@txquilter608]

I remember playing this album hundreds of times in my teens. Amazing vocals, thanks for the memories❤

[@mandamorris7934]

Their BEST of all time... Ohhhh such memories this brings... Thanks guys!

[@cindilu2]

Saw them in concert a few weeks ago and they have still GOT IT! Russell Hitchcock sings just as well live as on the recording. He might not hold the notes as long as back in the day, but he hits EVERY one of them. Fantastic.

[@QuicknStraight]

Saw them live 30 years ago and Russell Hitchcock sang BETTER than the studio recordings in his prime.

[@cindilu2]

True that! I did as well - the first time in 1987 - and it was unbelievably good. I was just saying he still does :)

[@craigholt3485]

Hahaha, this reaction is fantastic! Air Supply rocks. I'm 54 and they had the best ballads in the 80s.

[@juliewhite7469]

[@2Cambourne]

This Australian duo was one of the best things that came out of Australia. They were one of the best sounds of the 80's. They were awesome. Note: Update on this group. Graham Russell an Englishman and Russell Hitchcock an Australian met as part of Andrew Lloyds Webber's cast of "Jesus Christ Superstar" in London, England. This was back in April 1975. After the musical finished, they got together to form the group "Air Supply." They made their mark first in Australia. Later they would become international and worldwide superstars themselves. Pardon the pun. LOL...

[@tomasgonzalezmarin6118]

Australia gave really great music in the 80's. Olivia NJ, ACDC, Men at Work, INXS, Midnight Oil and Crowded House, among others. Regards from Chile!

[@BillGraper]

One of their best songs, and they had a lot of great ones!!! *FUN FACT:* "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" by Bonnie Tyler & "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" were both written by Jim Steinman. For 3 weeks, they were #1 & #2 in the USA at the same time!!! Bonnie kept Air Supply out of #1. She would spend 4 weeks at #1, while Air Supply spent 3 weeks at #2.

[@johan123212]

And then Bonnie recorded her own version of this, also produced by Steinman.

I love to see young people's reactions when they hear an amazing band like Air Supply for the first time! I know that it was a different Era many years ago but the fact is this the music was just amazing and I'm not trying to put down today's music but I think the talent of writing music is lost! The music is only as good as the artist that writes It!!!! Thank you Air Supply for such amazing and PURE POWER!!!

[@nancy9891]

Air Supply also did a song called “Lost in Love” which was another banger. My favorite. I hope you play it one day.

[@juliansuarez8809]

This song just demonstrates how great music was back then in the 80’s, my favorite decade of music!!

[@haroldmachroli7038]

Damn this is one of the greatest rock power ballads of all time. What a voice!!!!!!

I was always a sucker for Air Supply during more emotional moments in my youth. And the piano always gets me.

[@dawntextor8170]

My aunt took me to see them when i was like 11 ( I'm 55 now) i absolutely loved them. I thought oh lord why is she taking me. It's always been one of my favorite memories. They can sing, those voices are magic

I absolutely love Air Supply. They had the best love songs ever.

[@tonyhaynes9080]

Another Jim Steinman classic. I love this song. There again, I love most of his work. He was a genius.

[@cyradus]

Air Supply knew how to change keys to make songs climb and fall. That is part of their style.

[@magicmike7198]

Another big thank you to Jim Steinman for this gem of music. When you know the reclusive lifestyle that Jim had, his operatic and desperate songs take on another dimension. Jim, who left us recently, lived alone in the New York countryside with about ten cats. Like a vampire, he lived at night and slept during the day. Plagued by bouts of depression, he said that being incredibly depressed did not depress him. The Man mastered excess like no other (''Everything Louder Than Everything Else'', ''Going All The Way Is Just a Start'' ''Out Of The Frying Pan And Into The Fire''). There will never be another Jim Steinman.

[@KaylaYeager-mz5sd]

I remember my girlfriend and I took this song literally. That was 35 years ago. She’s sitting on the other end couch right now.

[@prinz97]

All hail Air Supply: the Masters of Soft Rock.

[@juliewhite7469]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@garyatwood-mendez6465]

Amber hit the nail on the head: Russel Hitchcock has amazing breath control and management. It takes a lot of hard work to discipline your breath management (and improving your breath support). Especially on the verses here, he sings in a very “legato” manner, meaning that all the notes connect smoothly to each other. Another great Air Supply song to check out is “Sweet Dreams.” Oh, and in the future please react to Steve Perry’s “Strung Out.”

[@teresajock9466]

One of my favorite Air Supply songs ❤ also Every woman in the World!!!

[@davidwalker683]

Classic. So many good songs from them..

[@bruinbro23]

Went to a private Christian HS, some teachers were Father's in Church. One in class, played this song, never heard it, knew the band, as it went on, he paused several times, saying it was God, and us asking how did he do that, making Love from Nothing at All. So since that, everytime I hear this song, look up and smile. There's a concert on here of them in 2000s, great to watch, younger in band, fans great, and the 2 up front still great...look it up and watch!

[@falison12]

Ive seen Air Supply 11 times since 2006. They are always on tour and ive caught them at my local casino venue. First time i saw them 2006 , i took my mom for her bday. I wasnt crazy about them but by the end of the week, i had bought their greatest hits album. Next time I saw them a few years later , they had a whole new band including the guitarist and they were hitting them notes hard. I havent seen them in 2 years but they are amazing live. Love this band. I Recommend reacting to them LIVE.

[@DebraJohnson-k3z]

One of the most underrated bands of the 80’s. Loved their music. Saw them in concert at their peak in the 80’s at an outdoor amphitheater. The sound was amazing.

[@kbrewski1]

I don't think they were underrated at all. They deserve full credit for destroying music in one fell swoop. Along with Boy George, Micheal Bolton and 80s Cheesy Hair Metal bands. Its been all downhill since the 60s and 70s!

This is a Jim Steinman song. He wrote "Total Eclipse of the Heart" for Bonnie Tayler, "It's All Coming Back to Me" for Celine Dion, "Dead Ringer for Love", for Cher & Meatloaf, and he and Meatloaf did a lot of other things. All of his music has this dramatic quality and great lyrics.

[@michaelorlowski7722]

This was #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 when Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was #1. Not only were both songs written and produced by Jim Steinman, but both featured Roy Bittan on piano and Max Weinberg on drums (from Springsteen's E Street Band).

I've been a fan since the summer of 1980! I've been them nearly 2 dozen times since 1985, and as recently as 2022 & 2023. I've met them on numerous occasions, way before meet & greets cost extra! i had their Hawaiian concert video playing while i was in labor with my daughter in 1992. i saw them in 1994, and during a meet & greet after the show, i casually mentioned it to Russell Hitchcock, the lead singer. i didn't think anything else about it until YEARS later, i heard him mention in it an interview! he still mentions it today, as he's never forgotten it! I remind him every show i go to that "I'm the one"! i have been dubbed "Labor Room Linda"! a lot of Airheads know me and my story, and if they see an interview where he mentions me, they send it to me! i am so humbled that out of ALL the fans they've met over the last 49+ years (May 12, 2025 will be 50 years that THEY met), he remembered my li'l story! i have their logo tattooed on my wrist! yes, i am one HUGE fan! please keep going with their songs as they'll make y'all fall in love with each other all over again! they have that profound effect on people! lots of love, signed Labor Room Linda!

Vince Gill - What you give away. There are two versions. The best one I feel is the one with his band at the grand old oprey. Steve Warner - A Woman Loves. He's just such a good singer/song writer.

Air Supply a favorite of mine. A very deep rabbit hole. The album Ultimate has 18 banger songs. I had hoped to have a girlfriend. The songs I wanted to play for that never gf. Were "Every Woman in the World", "Here I Am", " Even the Nights Are Better", " Two Less Lonely People in the World." The 80s was the decade of my 20s. Great reaction as always guys.
