      Not quite. At around 0:24 she sings "and the beauty of it all"; the note on "it" shoulld be a D but it sounds very flat - almost as if it were a blue note, except the blue note typically is the third, not the fourth degree. Only reason I'm saying this is because she clearly isn't "perfectly in tune", but she really doesn't have to be - at least not all the time.
