00:00:00.000 Hello Classic Crew and welcome to today's video where we're going to be talking about my top five
00:00:05.900 videos from 2020. So 2020 is officially over. Today is the first day of 2021. Let's all pray,
00:00:17.520 let's all cross our fingers that this is going to be a much better year for us. Now of course we
00:00:23.180 know we're still going to be dealing with a lot of the aftershocks and after events of 2020,
00:00:27.000 but hopefully 2021 we're a little bit more prepared. We can handle it a little bit better
00:00:31.840 because 2020 none of us were prepared. But this year was a huge year for my channel thanks to you
00:00:38.700 guys. I have had such growth for my social media, for my channel because the Classic Crew has become
00:00:45.000 such a great group of people and I am so glad you guys are all here. So I thought today I would go
00:00:51.880 through my top five most viewed videos from this year and just kind of talk about them because
00:00:57.900 they made an impression because they have a lot of views. So I thought I would talk about that today
00:01:03.660 and share kind of my experience when I was recording them, when I was thinking about what I wanted to say
00:01:08.920 and also talk about your guys' responses. So we are going to go from number five to number one and
00:01:15.380 the fifth most viewed video on my channel was conservative women it's our time. So this video
00:01:21.740 has about 780,000 views and this video was a really big deal for me. This was the video where I decided
00:01:32.180 to come out as a conservative influencer, where I decided that I wanted to talk about being conservative
00:01:38.040 and really start trying to talk about my viewpoint on my channel. Up until that point I was kind of
00:01:44.180 talking about some of my ideas but I was keeping it a little bit more under the radar and when I made
00:01:49.560 this video it was a huge decision. It was a decision I did not take lightly. It was a decision
00:01:55.120 that I felt I had to make where I could honestly talk about what I believed and for so long, for so many
00:02:03.120 years, I had kept my beliefs under the radar because I did seven years of operatic training and study
00:02:09.200 and during that time I never talked about my politics. I never talked about my conservative
00:02:15.260 viewpoints or having more traditional leanings. Anything like that I did not talk about and for
00:02:21.520 the first time I felt like I can and I should and I should use my platform to really create a space for
00:02:29.420 conservative women to feel safe to express what they think and find other women who think similarly.
00:02:34.700 And so I was so excited that the response was so great that so many women felt like hey I can
00:02:41.600 finally talk about this and of course there were many people who did not like this video of course
00:02:47.580 but that doesn't mean that it wasn't worth making because even if I was able to reach one woman who
00:02:54.100 felt isolated because of her views that was really important to me. So that was the fifth most viewed
00:03:01.240 video on my channel in 2020. The fourth most viewed video on my channel was if you care about women be
00:03:08.740 pro-life. This video has about 940,000 views and I am so proud. That video was so important for me to
00:03:18.860 make. I am staunchly pro-life. I will always fight for the right of the unborn and this video meant so much
00:03:28.120 to me to make. I knew that if I was going to be a conservative influencer and if I was going to talk
00:03:33.560 about my values and my viewpoint I could not leave that stone unturned. I had to talk about my views
00:03:40.960 when it comes to abortion and when it comes to being pro-life. And writing that video was not easy
00:03:48.160 because I really wanted to make sure I got across everything that I believe and all of the arguments
00:03:54.060 that I could make in a short video. That's really hard to do because that video is not long and that
00:04:00.220 makes it more tricky. You have to be more concise. You have to make sure that you're really getting in
00:04:04.140 everything you want to say. So when I sat down to record that video it really was important that I
00:04:09.620 get everything right. That I say it the way that I wanted to say it. And I am so proud of that video.
00:04:16.620 It started a huge debate in the comments and of course I'm sure again as all of my videos do there
00:04:23.560 was a lot of pushback. A lot of people didn't like it. But I don't care because that video was
00:04:27.900 supremely important. And I am so so proud to have it on my channel. The third most highly viewed video
00:04:35.920 on my channel from 2020 is why I came out as conservative and that has 960,000 views. This video
00:04:42.500 was another one that I was really proud to make because this video explained why I felt the need
00:04:47.820 to come out as conservative. Why being conservative is something that you have to hide. It's not
00:04:54.240 something you can just come out and say in so many situations. And so many women can't even find other
00:05:00.700 women who are conservative. So many people can't find other people who are conservative in their lives
00:05:06.000 because if you're the first person to say that you're conservative and no one else in the room is
00:05:10.920 you'll be pushed out of the friend group. You'll be gotten rid of. And I knew how important it was
00:05:17.140 for me to talk about my experience being conservative in a world that was not. The artistic world did not
00:05:24.940 have room for conservative thought, for debate. None of that was available. And I knew that that was
00:05:32.100 something I needed to talk about because so many people feel like they can't actually talk about their
00:05:38.620 views and feel like they can't really say that they're conservative. Even if it's just to start
00:05:43.080 a conversation. Which is really scary because the really big thing for me is that we need to be able
00:05:48.200 to have open conversation on both sides of the aisle. Across the aisle. That is so important because if we're
00:05:54.520 all working with the same goal in mind but we don't necessarily agree on what the best way is to reach that goal,
00:06:01.540 having conversation is the only way to come to some sort of conclusion. And I really loved about that video
00:06:09.960 that I talk about how my channel is not just for conservatives, it's for people who are open-minded
00:06:15.300 to hearing conservative thought. Now something that I do want to clarify is that when I talk about leftists
00:06:20.700 and wokeists, I am not talking about liberals. They are two different groups and so when I say on my channel
00:06:27.320 leftists believe this, I am not lumping in liberals. Liberals we can work with. Leftists and wokeists
00:06:33.660 have a very different viewpoint on all of this and would like to tear down kind of the structure of our
00:06:39.740 society and morality and start over. Which is not starting from the same point. We do not have common
00:06:45.940 ground with that philosophy. Whereas liberals, we're working with them. So that's why I say I would love
00:06:52.320 people with differing viewpoints on my channel, but the people who are just here to call names and not have a fruitful
00:06:58.240 discussion don't feel the need to stay. The second most viewed video on my channel and one of my favorites is
00:07:04.660 10 things you should know before becoming a wife. This video has over a million views and I love that. I love that
00:07:12.640 one of my most highly viewed videos is not political. People tend to really think this video is interesting.
00:07:20.940 I'm sure many people again think this is a controversial point. It's not. The things that I'm
00:07:26.780 talking about in this video are not controversial. They're just ideas that you should think about before
00:07:33.340 you get married, especially if you're a young woman waiting until marriage to live with your partner.
00:07:38.380 These are just good tips for what you should know before becoming a wife, before getting married. I think
00:07:44.380 that this video is super useful. I still stand by all of those things, but I'm so glad I made that video
00:07:50.860 because now that I've been married for two and a half years, about a little bit more, you kind of forget
00:07:57.100 what that first year of marriage is like. So making that video right after my first year of marriage
00:08:02.300 was so, it's so nice to look back on because now we're really in the swing of things, right? But that
00:08:08.620 first year of marriage is a totally different experience. So I'm so glad that that video has done so
00:08:14.060 well on my channel and that I hope a lot of young women have kind of gotten some tips from that
00:08:19.420 because being married at first is not the easiest thing in the world. It's not hard. It isn't just
00:08:25.500 totally breezy and having a few things in mind beforehand and knowing that it just might not be
00:08:30.860 the most smooth of transitions, it's helpful to know that that's normal. I think that's the hardest
00:08:35.740 thing. I think a lot of young women think that marriage is just so easy and then when it's not,
00:08:40.940 they're really disappointed or worried, it's great. But there are some times that are hard and it's
00:08:47.340 okay. That's normal. There are times that it just takes adjustment and that's also normal. So accepting
00:08:53.500 that and also hearing from someone else that, hey, it's normal can be a real help to young women.
00:09:00.220 The top video of 2020 was why you should dress modestly. This video has 1.4 million views.
00:09:11.180 This video is again something I stand by. I think that modesty is something that is severely under
00:09:18.780 talked about. It's something that people don't want to talk about because they think it's oppressive.
00:09:23.820 They think the patriarchy is doing something to them. As somebody who accepts reality and who
00:09:28.860 understands why modesty is important, I like being able to talk about that from a logical perspective.
00:09:35.260 And this video does just that. It tells you why modesty is important, not only to respect the
00:09:41.340 people around you, but for yourself to get what you want. If you want to get certain things,
00:09:46.780 the way you dress matters. And I still stand by that. I stand by that in regards not only to modesty,
00:09:53.260 but also into dressing stylishly and trying to dress well and not being unkempt. And stuff like
00:10:00.300 that actually matters. But modesty is the baseline. It is so important. And so I'm really glad that this
00:10:07.340 video got a huge conversation started. This is something that I think is so important for young
00:10:13.020 women to see in 2021 and in 2020 because I think so many women are getting the wrong message about
00:10:21.580 showing off your body and dress the way you want to. And it doesn't take into account how that actually
00:10:27.820 is going to affect their lives and how you need to respect other people. And so I'm really proud of
00:10:33.180 that video. I'm super glad that I made it. And that's it. Those are my top five most viewed videos of 2020.
