The funny thing is that if The Police didn't exist...Mana wouldn't of have anyone to rip off.
There is nothing original about Mana. They are middle aged men trying to hold on to their leather pants & Money. Enough is Enough!

Mana is the best!Just listen to each song to hear a beautiful message.I haven't heard the other group so i can't say if they are good or not.But everybody has their own type of music.

Corazon: what are you talking about?
"There is nothing original about Mana. They are middle aged men trying to hold on to their leather pants & Money. Enough is Enough! " If Mana is old i dont know where that puts the Police. I bet they probably came back cause Those were running out of money. You should be proud of mana. I really dont care what you say cause Mana is breaking records and they are here to stay, Sting is old news i just hope he doesnt break his leg or something on stage, like juan gabriel.
