林志炫在大陸「我是歌手」節目裡演唱了兩首經典英文老歌,一首是在決賽中為了帶動氣氛,與蕭敬騰合唱的Easy Lover, 一首則是為了展現他的高音而挑選的Making Love Out of Nothing at All。
Making Love Out of Nothing at All的原唱是來自澳洲的空中補給樂團(Air Supply),收錄在1983年所發行的「Making Love… The Very Best of Air Supply」的專輯中。這首歌曲在當年拿下了Billboard百大單曲榜的第2名。
Air Supply能走紅80年代樂壇,主唱羅素(Russell Hitchcock)的高音功不可沒,那清澈透亮的高音,在當時能與之匹敵的男歌手還真沒幾個。
不同於羅素,林志炫的高音屬於較柔美的,由他詮釋的Making Love Out of Nothing at All,也有一番不同的味道,難怪能獲得評審一致的激賞。
