    I love how they felt the need to beat us over the head with #girlpower instead of just, I dunno, maybe give the girls some better motivations and ambitions in the show?XD
    Thank you for postning this video!! Its worth its metaphorical weight in gold to me.

      I know what you mean, I think when they implemented I Got Me (Ich Bin Ich) in Bochum the lyrics are changed a bit. I wish they just rewrote "Lotta Locomotion" but tbh I prefer this song in German.

      Exactly! As a woman I HATE being told I'm only worth something if I'm a Sassy Bitch. 🙄
      I think the "go make the tea" thing could've worked with the old Dinah... Have her protest a little, waver when everyone repeats it, and have her sing a few lines to herself in an attempt to boost her confidence, then the others sing a "that's all you need" take on it after UNCOUPLED and *then* she finds her strength in ditching Electra. Boom! Interesting character with an important story to tell! You're welcome, Lloyd Webber. If I could think up that in less than a minute they should've been able to make something at least half as interesting with all the time they had.

      LadyDragonbane In I Got Me (Reprise) aka Dinah’s Disco she does redeem herself. I will upload it at some point. Tbh I’d rather have Rusty and Dinah do the final race instead of Dustin as it shows that they are both strong when others don’t think they are.

      If you look at it as more of a coaches empowerment song (after all, there are female trucks and engines) it works a lot better imo

    I love Starlight Express no matter what and have seen it many times and when I saw the new version for the first time, I really liked this song but could not get over how bad the verses sounded. Not only because they're quite fast, so it's hard to understand multiple singers at once and because of their accents and the bad audio quality (sorry StEx Bochum, it's the truth), but also because the rhythm just sounded wrong with German sentence structure... But I get it now, I get what they were going for, because in English it sounds great. Makes me wish they would perform the whole show in English once more. Bochum's fantastic staging and backdrop with the original lyrics....aaaaah it's so much work for one night only...probably not going to happen for a looooong time if at all. Anyways, thank you so much for uploading ♥♥♥

    I feel like in the context of the show this song is very performative fake feminism, considering the girls' character arcs (If they can even be called that) are still dependent on the male characters.
    On its own though? Has the potential to be an awesome punk lesbian anthem

    Okay, after watching it a few times. I really like both the English and the German version of the song.
    Though I prefer the instrumentals of the English Version here as it slaps more than the German version.

      @@iamelectric8525 I kinda agree with the opinion that it is a bit too early in the show. Maybe a Lotta Locomotion rewrite would have been better and then I Got Me later on.

      @@iamelectric8525 What would have been cool in a Lotta Locomotion rewrite is that Dinah, Belle and Carrie suddenly start singing and introducing themselves while Pearl, the new girl, is a bit shy and nervous at first but then starts singing too.
      And then later on, after the first race for example, the girls say that they are needed for the race and could win by themselves but the Trains deny them and then they sing I Got Me to show their partial independence from the Trains.
      Kinda like that!

      Lyrics:
      I got me and that's all I need
      Don't say no, it's my show
      I'm made of sugar and spice, but I don't always play nice
      You wanna tell me the rules? Already broken them twice
      I got these pretty eyes and they are on the prize
      Cos first place calls!
      I can think just as quickly, I can run just as long
      And I'm made of different metal, but I'm just as strong
      I got a pretty face, but it's an ugly race
      And I'm ready to roll
      I got me and that's all I need
      Don't say 'no', it's my show
      I got me and that's all I need
      I'm number one, the champion
      Gone are the days when we were second best
      Cos we don't settle for the back seat, we'll undo the rest
      Yeah we're right on track, ready to attack
      Breaking down these walls
      We're a force of nature and we're right on time
      Yeah we're gonna mix the game up while we're in our prime
      The lights may be red, danger up ahead
      And we're ready to roll!
      I got me and that's all I need!
      Watch me go, I'll take him on
      I got me, and that's all I need
      I see it now, my winner's bow
      You think that I'm incapable
      Of all the things you can do, but no
      And you think you're unstoppable
      But without me, that's not true
      Cos honey, I'm unstoppable and I won't race behind you!
      I got me, and that's all I need
      Don't say 'no', it's my show
      I got me, and that's all I need
      I'm number one, a champion
      I got me, and that's all I need
      Watch me go, I'll take it all
      Yeah I got me, and that's all I need
      I see it now, my winner's bow
