I don't think you're missing the point. Barrowman's voice aside, it isn't that good. It's not bad, but it's not really good.
It's also a really weird choice. All I can think is someone said "You've got to do a CD for your female fans... these showtunes albums just aren't cutting it." How they ended up with mostly horrible 70's and 80's ballads with 50's-style Vegas show orchestrations? Damned if I know.
The cover of "You're so Vain" almost redeems the album, though.
