What were some rumours/misinformation leading up to 3121?

Someone posted a couple fake tracklist threads yesterday that I thought were really interesting...

What were some things going around about 3121 that ended up not being true? I remember hearing about a song called "Vibe" that he was supposed to perform on SNL..

Was there any fake/alternate cover art for 3121 ever posted?

That Love sounded like Prince & The Revolution.
That 3121 sounded like a Camille track.
That Te Amo Corazon was shit. Sorry, a hit. (It was neither)

...etc forever but I'm bored already...

Remember that media sheet that had all the 3121 "supposed" appearances

I remember Oprah, Letterman and others were on that list

Not to my ears. The Camille voice is sellotaped on almost like ahalf-remembered afterthought and the playful quirky oddness that defined those tracks has been surgically removed and replaced with a nostril - hollow and too smooth. It's a deep funk groove from Sonny T that Prince has layered to death with old ideas. Fool's gold, in other words. Although I do enjoy the last minute, especially live, that's when it gets a pulse.

However, my FAVE rumor thread ever was started after 3121 was released, on 2 June 2006:

It's true, camille has gone... he records too clean nowadays - overproduced. Plus changes in technology, i dont even think he uses the same effect to achieve the voice high pitched anymore.
