Alberti - A Calming Affect

Barb114 — Tue, 14 Nov 2017 21:07:26 GMT

It was a joy watching Alberti with Valerie this afternoon. He is a class act, sophisticated, charming and has a calming affect on all he works with.

After last night with Amy talking a mile a minute, lip glossing during the show, then Shawn having a burn out during the Isaac show, Alberti was a refreshing change. On Monday night I finally turned off the Q, I needed to relax and wind down. Used to love Monday nights, Not anymore.

I too enjoy Alberti. He is very relaxing to listen to. He and Valerie are a good team.

While he is somewhat enjoyable, I really did not appreciate his limited caling out of the full price of any item. He mostly called out the easy pay amount. I find that very misleading. And if my employer was requiring me to do that, I don't believe I could continue to work for them. No offense to his demeanor or talent at all.

That's your choice to give up your job. Many companies do things against the law that their employees don't know about. BTW what QVC does about easy pays is not against the law. The complete price is on the side of the screen.

@proudlyfromNJ Agree. I didn't watch Alberti, but if he works like the rest of his colleagues, he does not say the EZP is the price of the item - the hosts I've heard say that's what it costs to get the product home.

I suppose there are a few very naive people who fall for that, but since a huge percentsge of people even buy cars and houses based on the monthly payment required, I just don't get upset with EZP call-outs.

Yes, he has a zen effect - unless he's amped, which happens sometimes. Watching him with Valerie today was a zen double dose.

I totally agree he is so good! I am sick of the yapping and excessive talking if Shawn and Amy and Sandra. I love when the hosts let the vendors speak! He is great

Home decor and design is Albertis strong suit and I wish QVC would use him more in that venue. I would love to see an At Home With Alberti show in the future.

Alberti - one of my favorite hosts. So glad to see him during the daytime hours and not in the middle of the night or on Q-2.

I didn’t see Alberti with Valerie, I’m sorry I missed it.

I did catch a bit of his holiday show on Q2 the other day and I really enjoyed it. He managed to promote the products without overkill and still insert his own decorating ideas and suggestions. It was almost like something you’d find on a Home and Garden program.

I agree that he would do great with a decorating show of his own.

Odd man out, here. I don't enjoy Alberti. He's hard for me to watch.

@12andcounting- I’m not a fan of Alberti either.

I love watching Alberti on beauty iq. He’s very respectful to the vendors and makeup artists who are do tutorials.

I've always loved how Alberti presents things too.

However yesterday and other days I've noticed that even the once calm, so pleasant to listen to hosts are being told to ramp it up, shout out easy pay options every minute, yell about the great price and how many left and limited in this color-getting louder and faster-so much pressure.

So yes I may turn to it, watch a few seconds and turn off.

I just don't get how whoever is encouraging this kind of selling has been able to stick around-I don't think its working for them considering how many times I've read the same thing I'm saying and thinking!

Its so strange not to be able to enjoy the hosts and vendors-yes even Valerie as we did before because each one has been told by someone to bring excitement or something which in their mind means as loud as possible and speed it up.

To me the only ones who haven't seemed to have "jumped the shark" are Jane, Pat, Carolyn (most of the time) and Leah and David Venable and Dan Hughes. They all to me have remained themselves or as they always have been.

I miss being able to watch that once enjoyable QVC!

You won't find a better host then Alberti imo. He is knowledgable about the product, lets the vendor give info and show the way it is supposed to/can be used, and most of all...he isn't LOUD and OBNOXIOUS like many hosts on QVC. It is a pleasure to watch him. I don't change the channel when Alberti is on. He should be on more often.

The closer we get to Christmas, the more frantic and hyper the hosts become. It's going to get even much worse than better still.
