What is So Special About Celebrity Autograph Sections At Events That Fans Die For?

Are you so fond of a celebrity to the extent that if you attend an event, sees him or her and you don’t get an autograph, you will become crestfallen?

Have you had autograph from your favourite celeb before? Were you happy? What is so special about it? Did it feed into your ego? Well, I don’t see anything special about celeb autograph. My reasons; first, if the celeb autographs for you, he or she does not get to know you better! You don’t become his or her best fan or fiend! So what is the essence?

Secondly, if your friends and relatives actually don’t know the signature of the supposed celeb who signed a book or T-shirt for you, how would they believe the celeb indeed signed for you? For instance, I live in Ghana. I don’t know Oprah Winfrey’s authentic signature.

So if you live in America and come to Ghana, show me a book with a signature and tell me its Oprah’s autograph, I can choose to believe or not. In the case of a book, the signature might stay with you for a long time, but, in the case of a dress, the autograph will fade out after many times of washing the dress. What will be there again to remember or boast of?

Thirdly, I don’t see any ‘exclusivity’ in that conduct. If I was or I’m the only person in this world that that celeb had had the autograph with, I would or will consider that exclusive and brag about! But signing for about 50 or more fans, the exclusivity which would make mine special, is lost!

“After all, he signed for you and signed for me too” that is what someone who also had the same celebrity sign for him or her will say if I try to flaunt with mine. Finally, the autograph won’t; can’t; shouldn’t; and mustn’t add any value to me in any form or shape!

Currently, this Western orientation of celeb autograph section is gaining grounds in Ghana’s showbiz industry. As for us, you know already – if we don’t copy anything Westerners do, we don’t feel special. We always have to copy them to boast our ego!

Some fans actually cry, yell, force to hold the celeb to stand, some are sometimes molested by the body guards of these celebs; others don’t even get attention from the celeb.

Well, I don’t see anything special, extra ordinary and exclusive about celebrity autograph sessions at events.

Do you fancy it? Have you had one before? Which celeb was that? Share your thoughts and experience. Until then…MOTWUM!!
