I think it's another way of describing the same concept, just a different manifestation. Those you mentioned can be (or just plain are in the case of Osteen) not doctrinally sound, but be very passionate. Many of the songs that come out of those movements are "Jesus is my boyfriend" kinds of songs. Lots of love, lots of passion, but not much soundness to them. So the worship can feel very strong and powerful, but is still disconnected to the teaching. The worship is still the basis for the experience while the Biblical illiteracy remains.

Some of the churches that are well known for their song writing are not as highly respected for their doctrine (e.g. Vineyard, Hillsong, Joel Osteen's church).
