Albany Irvin

I usually don't care for Albany but today I wanted to watch Rachael Ray and she was on. The two of them were so good together I couldn't get over it. They were both talking so much telling stories about their families. I actually enjoyed the show. Maybe I will give Albany another chance.

Underneath that glorious mane of red hair is a brain to be admired. Her quick wit gets her into trouble with some but if you decide not to dislike her on GP you'll find she is better prepared, more knowledgable than any of her peers, deft, professional. Her vendors talk about her long after their programs are over, often quoting her Albanyisms and they smile and laugh out loud like they can with no one else.

Thanks for posting. The carrion vultures do so much deriding that is rarely deserved.

ITA and very well stated. Albany is one bright, smart cookie who really does make some of the other hosts look woefully unprepared. She is a great addition to QVC and I can partially understand why some don't automatically take to her - she doesn't hide or downplay her intelligence and some might find that a tad off-putting ( which I'll never understand) She has a compelling presence that I really like~

I caught the Cottage Farms show with Albany and Phillip this afternoon and kept it on because the two of them were so enjoyable. I had to laugh at one point when Phillip said he was afraid of her - which you could tell was said in gest. Phillip also had lovely things to say about Albany's home and yard which didn't surprise me at all -

Agree totally. Those are two people I won't watch. Albany, like so many of the hosts, needs voice coaching. Too high-pitched and loud

When applying to be a host, the first thing imo is having a pleasant sounding voice. If the host doesn't have one, I don't watch or mute it.

Albany is one of my favorite hosts, very funny and informative, and high energy to keep me interested. She talked me into buying two Duraflames during the TSV last year, and they are wonderful, so glad I took her advice.

Albany is such a breath of fresh air. she is whip smart, has a quick wit and a great sense of humor mixed with a large dose of Southern charm ( I LOVE those Southern euphemisms!!). She also knows how to do the hair and makeup thing to her liking...then forget about it, unlike a few of the "newer" hosts who can't seem to stop looking at themselves in the monster and rearranging hair, clothes, etc. constantly to the point of distraction!! They should take a page out of Albany's book on professionalism. More Albany please...and maybe a bit less of Shawn and definitely less Kirsten!!

ALbany is exceptional!

I think that Albany does a great job. She speaks well and not at a loss for words or saying the same old thing. She is beautiful and clothes look great on her too. I especially enjoyed her the other day on Denim and Company with Gary. They are really good together. I rarely watch an entire show but I did with her being the host.

For me it's all about the voice. Sometimes I'll have the tv on in the background and I'll be just listening to a Q show. If I find the voices I hear distracting or annoying, it's then I reach for my remote.
