Former soldier Timothy Michael Poe was cut from “America’s Got Talent” Tuesday. Poe sang George Strait’s “The Chair,” but the judges didn’t think he “holds up to other singers on the show.” The 35-year-old country singer made headlines earlier this month when Minnesota National Guard records disproved claims he made on the NBC talent competition that he had been injured by a grenade in Afghanistan in 2009. Poe later told WFAA-TV in Dallas that he believed he was telling the truth but didn’t know what was real. He provided a photo to “America’s Got Talent” of a soldier that he passed off as himself. But Poe’s fiancée, Carrie Morris, said he accidentally submitted the photo of Staff Sgt. Norman Bone in Afghanistan in 2006 because he was rushed.
