Popstars Live
Taylor was working for Australia Post when a friend dared him to audition. He did so, becoming a finalist and then the winner. On the Popstars Live: the Finalists, Taylor covered Jealous Guy first performed by John Lennon and later an Australian number one hit for Roxy Music in 1981. Taylor's show-stopping performance of the INXS song Never Tear Us Apart was considered by many to be his finest moment. Other standouts included his unique rendition of 'Its Raining Men', as well as the Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan duet 'Especially For You', which was performed, strangely, as a solo.
After winning the series, Taylor entered the studios in early June 2004 to record a debut album. The first single Heartbreaker was released on 21 June 2004 and debuted at No. 8 on the Australian singles charts. He co-wrote this song himself. A planned second single, City Lights, and the album were never released.
