Club Menai has organised two large screens in its auditorium so fans can cheer on the singer from Barden Ridge.

Marketing manager Gina Skinner said the public had shown plenty of interest in Hayley's journey.

"We are expecting a big crowd, possibly up to a couple of hundred people,'' Mrs Skinner said.

There will also be a prize for the best Hayley support poster or banner.

The free screening will kick off from 7.30pm this Sunday.

The address is 44-60 Allison Crescent, Menai.

Hayley and her fellow Idol finalist Stan Walker found time on Friday to show some support for Canadian crooner Michael Buble by turning up in the audience when he appeared at Peakhurst for Channel Nine's Today Show.

Hayley may be close to winning this year's Idol title, but to her mum and dad she's already a winner.

Speaking from their business, Burraneer Gourmet Meats yesterday Rick and Gayle Warner, from Barden Ridge, are excited about the announcement that could make their daughter a national star.

"It is surreal,'' Mrs Warner said.

"We knew she would do well but never in our wildest dreams we thought she would come this far.

"I think it is going to be a close result.''

The couple said almost every customer "pokes their head into the shop'' to say they have voted to keep Hayley, 17, in the competition.

"They all come and critique her performance,'' Mrs Warner said.

If the growing phone bill is not enough proof they are true supporters, they have also watched Hayley rock the stage every week.

Before she reached Idol stardom, Hayley attended Lucas Heights Community School.

It was not until a year ago she started singing lessons with a teacher who once trained Delta Goodrem.

Her stint on the talent show has seen her take a break from her band, Bleached Academy, whose popularity has skyrocketed on social networking site MySpace.

Sutherland Shire's other Idol success was 2007 runner-up Matt Corby from Oyster Bay.
