I could have sworn someone made a poll for this, but maybe not.
Both of these songs sample Brenda Russell's "A Little Bit Of Love"/Big Pun's "Still Not A Player". Thalia's was released in 2003, and Ariana's was released almost exactly 10 years later.

I really don't like Thalia's vocals on that song, and I'm obsessed with Ariana's, so that.

I am sitting her trying to figure out what exactly it is that makes "The Way" SO superior to "I Want You." In terms of production value the songs are about on par (in fact IWY's production is fuller). Ariana definitely has the superior voice, but her enunciation on the verses is a little sloppy at points and the background vocals are definitely aping Mariah. Mac Miller's parts > Fat Joe, but not so much so that it's all that notable. And yet, TW is absolutely the superior song in a way I can't explain.
It must be the nostalgic in me, I guess. "The Way" just feels so simple yet infectious and adorable at this moment and like Drag, I've been obsessed since I finally got around listening to it a few hours ago. IWY at the time was just another paint-by-numbers pop/r&b hybrid among many. It didn't stand out in any sort of way and time hasn't really done it any favors.

I like both songs but I prefer "The Way" overall.
