Well, kind of, but not really.
The question still remains, "Three years of silence is a long time, isn't it?" Thus it should be answered with a simple "oui" or "non."
However, if the interviewer said, "Trois ans de silence, ce n'est pas trop longtemps?" (which really isn't even a question) and Alizée disagreed, she would say, "Si, ça fait longtemps..."
Not sure if that helped at all, but the "non" at the end of the question here doesn't really make the sentence negative.
