Dang, that thing sounds like an airplane is about to land on your blazer. A bearing could have went bad somewhere. Are you noticing any voltage drops?
Edit: In the video, something doesn't look right about the idler pulley. And check to see that the belt tensioner isn't rocking. Eliminating things could narrow down your possibilities. That's how I think of it.

alternator x2
all u can do is take belt off,and start it for only 30 secs or so cold. if noise is gone,cut car off and start spinning pulleys. if it makes a gritty noise,replace it. they should spin like butta.

Ok so....
-still makes noise without belt on
-all things that spin are doing so like "butta"
-so nothing to do with anything that spins on belt.
I should also mention this noise started when I drove over my tire ramps to do an oil change.
could the power steering pump be doing this? the fluid is like almost nothing when I just checked.
maybe the fuel pump?

if steering pump is low,add fluid.
this might be a vacuum leak. Pick up some starter fluid,and while engine is running spray around the throttle body,intake etc and if idle changes while doing so,you found a leak.

if it was the power steering pump then it wouldn't make the noise with no belt. Check you vacuum lines, I had one make a noise similar to that when it got weak. It would collapse on itself and re-expand over and over again, looked like it was vibrating. also make sure a cooler line didnt get kinked. Follow the the sound of that noise.
