Paul Potts. Although I accept that I may be getting names, events and even spelling mixed up.

The X Factor showcases a pretty narrow genre to be fair. It's a show for boy bands, girl bands, boy ballad singers, girl ballad singers. It's not a showcase for eclectic world music, indie music, rock bands. I accept that the contestants will sing songs from these groups but its a pretty safe style and whilst the odd Wagner and Lucy Spraggon turn up to add some kind of non conformity to proceedings it will remain that way.

I'd love to see someone try Bhangra but it wont be commercial for Syco -maybe we haven't seen Chinese or Indian sub continent middle of the road ballad singers really actually apply I can't think off the top of my head of one successful UK asian chart topper except the indie band Cornershop who had the hit A Brimful of Asha in the 90s.
Monsoon with Sheila Chandra - Ever So Lonely. 1982.

Well, he did score a #1 in the US but never in the UK Chart.

their last name = Lau = kantonese
You sure? Cause Tita was on a Korean talent show last year, so that's why I assume she's Korean:

You'd be surprised, Asian descent people make up a greater proportion of the UK population than black people...
