I just got Rock Band 2 for 360 and had a fun local band session with a friend.  I did the singing... and got hoarse from trying to activate my Overdrive.  grrrrrrrrrr

I know this article is from 2008, but Harmonix just patched Rock Band 3 (at least on Xbox/PS3) to allow vocalists to activate Overdrive by pressing a button on the controller. FINALLY!
