Timothy Michael Poe, Wounded Stuttering Veteran, Wows On ‘America’s Got Talent’ [Video]

Timothy Michael Poe didn’t seem too confident about his singing when he walked out on the stage in San Antonio for “America’s Got Talent.” But Poe, who talks with a stutter due to a brain injury he received while fighting in Afghanistan, wowed the judges with both his talent and his story.

Poe said:

“I spent 14 years in the military but my service ended in 2009 after I was hit by a grenade in Afghanistan. It broke my back and gave me a brain injury and that’s the reason why a stutter a little bit when I talk.”

Poe said that he was worried about getting up on stage because of his stutter but he was convinced by his friends and family to give it a shot. And when Poe started singing, his stutter disappeared and the audience sat back in amazement.

Poe sang Garth Brooks’ “If Tomorrow Never Comes” and earned a standing ovation.

Howie Mandel called Poe “a phenomenal talent.”

Sharon Osbourne said he had a “rich and beautiful tone to his voice.”

Howard Stern added: “I was moved by your performance and thought you did a good job.”
