she was a notorious alcoholic and drug addict. its what killed her at a young age.
so there is a good chance that she was under the influence of something.

does that answer your question?

Man, I can't understand what is going on with this lady in this video. She seems to be fucking drunk. It seems she has drunk a bottle of vodka at one dash before of singing this song. Was she really drunk?

No cynicism on this one kid. For one to be moved by music is the idea actually. I kind of catharsis.
